VICTORY
By Cpl. Chester Russell
Fight on, oh gallant comrades,
Fight on to Victory.
Forget the luxurious things we had
And fighting men we'll be.
Forget the tears, our lives we give,
Forget your loves behind,
Fight on so memories can live.
Let fighting hearts combine.
Let the Tramp, Tramp, Tramp of
million feet,
Resound throughout the land
And on the sea our fighting fleet
Protect the fighting man.
Fight on till victory is won,
March on across the plain.
Let's sink the raging rising sun,
So peaceful days may reign.
