Lyrics:
I am a tank commander in Patton’s third
Been rackin’ up the kill count since fourty-one
Gunner’s got the thirty-cal singing like a Jay Bird
From Omaha Beach to Luxembourg
Got the Panthers and the Tigers turnin’ tail
To the Rhineland boys, let’s hit the trail!
♪
The howitzer are thumpin’ to the rhythm of war
The mighty German Army can’t take much more
Sherman tanks knockin’ at Hasso Von’s door
Join the Army men, let’s even the score
♪
I’m a War Bond Woman like Dorothy Lamour
Japan can’t compete as I go door to door
These coupons compound semi-annually
They’re tax deferred, backed by the U.S. treasury
The money you invest today will win the war
Remember Pearl Harbor, now invest ten SCORE!
♪
Uncle Sam needs tanks and ships to win the war
So we war bond ladies are going on tour
If you’re not in the fight put some money down
Our G-I joes at the front are world-renown!
[Post-Chorus]
With tanks, ships and planes, we’ll win the day
Look, Berlin and Tokyo are that a-way
Our explosive rounds land near and far
Hirohito and Hitler will hear us ROAR!!!
♪
I am a bombardier rainin’ down hell on Earth
We fly express from England to Schweinfurt
My thousand-pound bombs really make it pop
I’ve never met a target where I didn’t drop
Hold my beer as this Boeing purrs (Boeing purrs)
We’re on the airstream from Belgium to Frankfurt
♪
The Mighty Eighth is holdin’ it down
As the German Air Force swarms around
If I had one wish, it would be more bombs
Come on get in this fight cause duty calls!
♪
From Hawaii to Midway, we bring the pain
The Pacific Theater is Nimitz’ to claim
Imperial Japan can’t hold us back
As our carriers sail into the attack
The Wildcats scream, as we paint it black
The U-S Navy ain’t takin’ flak
♪
From Island to Island the Marines take score
Our Dauntless dive bombers really let it roar
From the Guadal Canal to Okinawa
Our maritime men always causing drama! (hoorah!)
Our tanks are rollin’ to a thumpin’ sound
Our guns rat-a-tattin’ in Hitler’s town
Our screaming bombers always bring the heat
Our ships are swarming to a different beat
Uncle Sam needs tanks and ships to win the war
So we war bond ladies are going on tour!!!
