The Smiths and The Jones 1942 Flanagan and Allen

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Sep 2002

We, the people, are working night and day
to set the whole world free
and when I say "We,"
it's easy to see
I mean you and me.

Who's sailing the ships
who's flying the planes
who's manning the tanks and the guns?
It's the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns
they're all Democracy's sons.
Who fights in the North
who fights in the South
Who fights in the East and the West?
It's the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns
they're all Democracy's best.
Oh! They won't be back till they attack;
a job that must be done.
Whose sweethearts will yearn
until they return
then who'll be the happiest ones?
It's the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kelly's and Coh'ns
they're all Democracy's sons.

Who's building the tanks
who's building the planes
who's launching the ships by the tons?
It's the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns
they're all Democracy's sons.
Their aim is the same,
so what's in a name?
They've all one desire to win.
They're the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns
they've just begun to begin.
Oh! They'll never stop
till they're on top;
That job will sure be done.
Who's paying the tax
who's buying the bonds
who's swelling the Treasury's funds?
It's the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns
they're all Democracy's sons.

In Poland and France
they're waiting their chance
to help when the Allies invade;
With the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns
our flag will lead the parade.
From Norway to Greece
some day there'll be peace,
and all of the people will be
like the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns,
for once again they'll be free.
Right is on their side,
they'll turn the tide
and bring us victory
and last, but not least,
they'll mop up the East;
United we stand just like one,
with the Smiths and the Jones
and the Kellys and Coh'ns,
they're all Democracy's sons.
