American Defense
No use in sittin' in no tent
No use in having no fairs
This war may last you for years
American defense
Well you use some sense
Just have to take care of your boys
You must raise more produce
Farmers set sail and use
So save allyour worries in toils
No use in save no fairs
No us in setting in no tents
This war may last you for years
We'll the red white and blue
That represents you
You ought to do everything that you can
Buy a war savin' stamps
You men go to their camps
Be brave and take this pen
No use in sittin' in no tent
No use in having no fairs
This war may last you for years
Oh that troubles sometimes
All upset your mind
Well you all know just what to do
Keep pushin, keep shovin'
Don't be angry, be loved
Be a good, fellow, honest and true
No use in sittin' in no tent
No use in having no fairs
This war may last you for years
You can say yes or no
But we got to win this war
Because gentle Mac Arthur is not a friend
They won't be enough japs
To shoot a little game of craps
Because the biggest of them all will be dead
No use in sittin' in no tent
No use in having no fairs
This war may last you for years
This war sure do bother
Our mothers and father
Our sister and brothers too
Our friends and relations
This war been creation
Don't let this worry you
No use sittin' in no tent
Use to having to fairs
This war may last you for years
No use in having no fairs
This war may last you for years
American defense
Well you use some sense
Just have to take care of your boys
You must raise more produce
Farmers set sail and use
So save allyour worries in toils
No use in save no fairs
No us in setting in no tents
