Irving Berlin
Let’s All Be Americans Now
Peace has always been our pray'r
Now there's trouble in the air
War is talked of ev'rywhere
Still in God we trust;
Now that war's declared
We'll show we're prepared
And if fight we must
It's up to you! What will you do?
England or France may have your sympathy, over the sea
But you'll agree That, now is the time, To fall in line
You swore that you would so be true to your vow
Let's all be Americans now. now.
Lincoln, Grant and Washington
They were peaceful men, each one
Still they took the sword and gun
When real trouble came;
And I feel somehow, they are wond'ring now
If we'll do the same.
