[voice]
December seventh, ninteen hundred and forty one
Our land of freedom was defied;
December eight, nineteen hundred and forty one
Uncle Sam replied.

[refrain 1]
We did it before and we can do it again
and we will do it again,
We've got a heck of a job to do
but you can bet that we'll see it thru
We did it before and we can do it again
and we will do it again,
We're one for all and we're all for one.
They'll get a lickin' before we're done.
Millions of voices are ringing,
Singing as we march along.
We did it before and we can do it again
and we will do it again,
We'll knock them over and then we'll get
the guy in back of them
We did it before, we'll do it again.

[refrain 2]
We did it before and we can do it again
and we will do it again,
We know we're right and we also know
that gangsterism has got to go.
We did it before and we can do it again
and we will do it again,
When we get goin' and start to click
We'll put the ax to the Axis quick.
Millions of voices are ringing,
Singing as we march along.
We did it before and we can do it again
and we will do it again,
This country never has lost a war
from days of William Penn,
We did it before, we'll do it again.
