They're gettin' ready
They're gettin' ready
we've had a row and now
they're going to war
they've got their orders
to sail the waters
with heavy heart they start
for a foreign shore,
they're not excited
they're just delighted
to go and shake them
make them stand up and roar,
like they never did before.

They're on their way to Mexico
just see those Yankee fighters,
foe exciters gettin' ready to go
they're on their way
to win the day
just take a look at those Yankee brothers
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving,
goodbye stop grieving,
don't cry they're glad to go.
They'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
way down in Mexico.

They're on their way to Mexico
just see those Yankee fighters,
foe exciters gettin' ready to go
they're on their way
to win the day
just take a look at those Yankee brothers
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving,
goodbye stop grieving,
don't cry they're glad to go.
They'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
way down in Mexico.

Come over near them
Come on and cheer them
they've got a right to fight
this battle because
they've been invited
to go and fight it
and so they're in to win
and they'll never pause,
until they take 'em
and then they'll make 'em
with head erect respect America's laws.
Give three cheers for them because.

They're on their way to Mexico
just see those Yankee fighters,
foe exciters gettin' ready to go
they're on their way
to win the day
just take a look at those Yankee brothers
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving,
goodbye stop grieving,
don't cry they're glad to go.
They'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
way down in Mexico.

They're on their way to Mexico
just see those Yankee fighters,
foe exciters gettin' ready to go
they're on their way
to win the day
just take a look at those Yankee brothers
waving to their grey haired mothers,
Goodbye, they're leaving,
goodbye stop grieving,
don't cry they're glad to go.
They'll make them run
like a herd of cattle
they'll know they've had some battle
way down in Mexico.
