Lyrics: Lew Brown & Charles R. McCarron, 1917
Music: Albert Von Tilzer, 1917
LYRICS:
The land of the free is for you and for me,
Or for anyone at all who is seeking liberty.
We welcome ev’ry stranger, and we help him all we can,
And now that we’re in danger, we depend of ev’ry man.
The Stars and Stripes are calling you to lend a helping hand,
If you’re true blue, it’s up to you to show just where you stand.
What kind of an American are you?
It’s time to show what you intend to do.
If they trample on Old Glory will you think that they are right,
Or will you stand behind your land and fight with all your might?
What kind of an American are you?
That’s a question you’ll have to answer to.
If the Star-Spangled Banner don’t make you stand and cheer,
Then what are you doing over here?
This country’s been dared, but they’ll find us prepared,
And to try and gain our aim not a penny will be spared.
We are a friendly nation, and we always look for peace,
We’ve waited and we’ve waited, hoping that this war would cease.
The enemy across the sea won’t take our good advice,
So now it’s up to ev’ry man to make some sacrifice.
