Irving Berlin - For Your Country and My Country lyrics
[Irving Berlin - For Your Country and My Country lyrics]
We know you love your land of liberty
We know you love your USA
But if you want the world to know it
Now's the time to show it
Your Uncle Sammy needs you one and all
Answer to his call
For your country and my country
With millions of real fighting men
It's your duty and my duty
To speak with the sword, not a pen
If Washington were living today
With sword in hand he'd stand up and say
For your country and my country
I'll do it all over again
America has opened up her heart
To ev'ry nationality
And now she asks of ev'ry nation
Their appreciation
It makes no diff'rence now
From where you came we are all the same
We know you love your USA
But if you want the world to know it
Now's the time to show it
Your Uncle Sammy needs you one and all
Answer to his call
For your country and my country
With millions of real fighting men
It's your duty and my duty
To speak with the sword, not a pen
If Washington were living today
With sword in hand he'd stand up and say
For your country and my country
I'll do it all over again
America has opened up her heart
To ev'ry nationality
And now she asks of ev'ry nation
Their appreciation
It makes no diff'rence now
From where you came we are all the same
