[Verse 1]
We're C#mspending bG#millions C#meveryG#m year
For C#mguns and aG#mmmunEition
"Our F#mArmy" and "Our ENavy" dear
To F#mkeep in good conG#mdition;
While C#mmillions G#mlive in C#mmiseG#mry
And C#mmillions Bdied beEfore us
Don't F#msing "My Country, 'Etis of thee,"
But F#sing this little Bchorus
[Chorus]
Should I Eever Abe a Esoldier
'Neath the ARed Flag BI would Efight;
Should the Agun I ever Eshoulder
It's to F#crush the Btyrant's F#might
Join the Earmy of Athe Etoilers
Men and Bwomen fall in line
C#Wage slaves of the world! AArouse!
C#Do your duty for the Acause
For BLand and ELiberty
[Verse 2]
And C#mmany a G#mmaiden, C#mpure and G#mfair
Her C#mlove and G#mpride mustE offer
On MF#mammon's altar in Edespair
To F#mfill the master's G#mcoffer
The C#mgold that G#mpays the C#mmighty G#mfleet
From C#mtender Byouth he Esqueezes
While F#mbrawny men must Ewalk the street
And fF#ace the wintry Bbreezes
[Chorus]
ShoEuld IA everE be a soldier
'Neath the ARed Flag BI would Efight;
Should the Agun I ever Eshoulder
It's to F#crush the Btyrant's F#might
Join the Earmy of Athe Etoilers
Men and Bwomen fall in line
C#Wage slaves of the world! AArouse!
C#Do your duty for the Acause
For BLand and ELiberty
[Verse 3]
Why C#mdo they moG#munt their C#mgatling G#mgun
A C#mthousand G#mmiles from Eocean
Where hF#mostile fleet could Enever run--
Ain't F#mthat a funny G#mnotion?
If C#myou don't G#mknow the C#mreason G#mwhy
Just C#mstrike for Bbetter Ewages
And F#mthen, my friends--Eif you don't die--
You'll F#sing this song for Bages
[Chorus]
ShoEuld IA everE be a soldier
'Neath the ARed Flag BI would Efight;
Should the Agun I ever Eshoulder
It's to F#crush the Btyrant's F#might
Join the Earmy of Athe Etoilers
Men and Bwomen fall in line
C#Wage slaves of the world! AArouse!
C#Do your duty for the Acause
For BLand and ELiberty
