Lyrics
Not ev’ryone can wear a uniform
Not ev’ryone can tote a gun
But all of us can be a part of the plan
And see that the job gets done
To see that the job gets done
Chorus
Keep ’em smiling, help ’em put it over
Over here and over there
Keep ’em rolling, for the screaming eagle
For the lion and the bear
Show the Hun, show the Hun
And that Son o’ the Rising Sun
We are all behind the man behind the gun
So, keep ’em flying with the bonds you’re buying
Keep ’em smiling, for if you do
They’ll come smiling through
