sir and ma’am lend me your ear the enemy’s grasp is closing near chains and scraps and books and maps we need to kill the monster our boys need more, anything more your nation warmly thanks you sir and ma’am the news is here the war has gone our way this year still sheets and suits and lace up boots can help us win our freedom our boys must march, they simply must your nation warmly thanks you sir and ma’am you’re not to fear our way to victory is clear monkey wrenches and shovels for trenches you see our men are dug in our boys are fighting awfully hard your nation warmly thanks you sir and ma’am you have to hear this day is one of grateful cheer the rainproof tent and tires you sent they paid off in the end our boys fought very bravely your things are on their way home GBE Written May 23rd, 2001 © on Nov 01 2001 03:18 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
