Well, this war is raging;
Uncle Sam is calling by one, two, and three.
Yes, this war is raging;
Uncle Sam is calling by one, two, and three.
Know it’s bad for us to grumble;
we going to see what the end gon’ be.

Yes, the bombs are fallin’,
poor people runnin’ every whichaway.
Yes, the bombs is fallin’;
poor people runnin’ every whichaway.
It’s got the whole world on a wonder;
Lord, what’s the matter with the cruel world today?

Well, the Germans keep coming;
we keep marching forwards there.
Yes, the Germans keep coming,
but we keep marching forwards there.
If we don’t meet ’em on the ground,
say, we’ll be bound to meet them in the air.

Canzone di guerra

Bene,questa guerra sta infuriando;
Lo zio Sam sta chiamando per uno ,due, e tre.
Si’, questa guerra sta infuriando;
Lo zio Sam sta chiamando per uno ,due,e tre.
Sai, è un male per noi brontolare;
Noi vedremo quale sara’ la fine.

Si’, le bombe stanno cadendo,
La povera gente sta correndo da qualsiasi parte.
Si’, le bombe stanno cadendo,
La povera gente sta correndo da qualsiasi parte.
E’ il mondo intero nella incredulita’;
Signore, qual è il problema col mondo crudele oggi ?

Bene , i Tedeschi continuano ad arrivare;
Noi continuiamo a marciar in avanti laggiu’.
Si’, i Tedeschi continuano ad arrivare;
Ma noi continuiamo a marciar in avanti laggiu’.
Se non li incontriamo sulla terra,
Dico, noi li incontreremo nell’aria.
