Now the United States did it once

An I just know’d they was goin' to do it again

Now the United Stated did it once

An I just know’d they was going to do it again

Now when the Germans first started the war

I just know’d the United State was gon' win

I didn’t pass in the army

But I’m really doin' ev’rything I can, now

I didn’t pass in the army

But I’m really doin' ev’rthing I can

Now an I’ll just keep my fingers crossed

Because the United State have just got to win

(harmonica & instrumental)

I didn’t mind goin' to the army

If that was all that we had to do

I didn’t mind goin' through the army, yeah

If that was all that we had to do

Now we’ve already wupped the German

An we’ve gotta go an wup them Japanese, too

You know the President acks General MacArthur

'How many more ships a-do you need?'

You know the President acks General MacArthur

'How many more ships do you need?'

An Japan funeral, boy to be followin' after me, yeah.
