In fourteen hundred and ninety two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
and found for us a land we call our own.
And since that great old day,
when they named it U.S.A.
Men from ev'ry nation call it home.
In time of strife and need,
we have shown by act and deed,
that we're loyal to
the old Red, White and Blue.
And now if fight we must
for a cause we know that's just,
we'll show them
what a soldier boy can do.

For we're Camp Custer's
fighting soldier boys
We're Yankee Doodle Doos,
and when we start a fighting
in that foreign land,
there is goin' to be a hot time
raised by Uncle Sam,
and we will give them all they want boys
'till the Kaiser has to groan.
And when we lick the Hun,
our duty will be done,
and we'll all come marching home.

For we're Camp Custer's
fighting soldier boys
We're Yankee Doodle Doos,
and when we start a fighting
in that foreign land,
there is goin' to be a hot time
raised by Uncle Sam,
and we will give them all they want boys
'till the Kaiser has to groan.
And when we lick the Hun,
our duty will be done,
and we'll all come marching home.

In days of yore when we needed aid,
our soldier boys were not afraid,
and gave their lives to keep this land our home,
and now to this great land,
comes a cry to lend a hand,
to help to throw a tyrant from his throne.
So as the boys of old,
we will show by acts so bold,
that we're loyal to
the old Red, White and Blue.
And so if fight we must
for a cause we know that's just,
we'll show them
what a soldier boy can do.

For we're Camp Custer's
fighting soldier boys
We're Yankee Doodle Doos,
and when we start a fighting
in that foreign land,
there is goin' to be a hot time
raised by Uncle Sam,
and we will give them all they want boys
'till the Kaiser has to groan.
And when we lick the Hun,
our duty will be done,
and we'll all come marching home.

For we're Camp Custer's
fighting soldier boys
We're Yankee Doodle Doos,
and when we start a fighting
in that foreign land,
there is goin' to be a hot time
raised by Uncle Sam,
and we will give them all they want boys
'till the Kaiser has to groan.
And when we lick the Hun,
our duty will be done,
and we'll all come marching home.
