I want to ask a question
A very important question
I want an answer right away
to this important question

Say, you. What can you do?
Will you do it?
For The Good of Your Country!

You too must come through too
Will you do it?
For The Good of Your Country!

You can lend a hand, man!
Will you do it?
For The Good of Your Country!

Yes! Yes! We say Yes! Yes!
Will you do it?
For The Good of Your Country!
Yes indeed

Say you, have a job to do
will you see it through?
Will you do it? (Yes!)

You can lend a hand, man!
Will you do it?
For The Good of Your Country!

Uncle Sam won't stand no jive
Gotta have help to keep alive!
Will you do it?
