Let's All Be Americans Now 1917

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,
we're not looking for
any kind of war,
but if fight we must.

It's up to you!
What will you do?
England or France may have your sympathy,
or Germany,
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.

It's up to you!
What will you do?
England or France may have your sympathy,
or Germany,
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.

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.

It's up to you!
What will you do?
England or France may have your sympathy,
or Germany,
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.

It's up to you!
What will you do?
England or France may have your sympathy,
or Germany,
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.
