Oh when the yanks (when the yanks)
Go marching in (go marching in)
When the yanks go marching in
Boys, I want to be in that number
When the yanks go marching in
When our guns (when our guns)
And cannons roar (and cannons roar)
When our guns and cannons roar
Boys, I want to be in that number
When our guns and cannons roar
When our tanks (when our tanks)
Go rolling in (go rolling in)
When our tanks go rolling in
Boys, I want to be in that number
When our tanks go rolling in
When we set (when we set)
This whole world free (this whole world free)
When we set this whole world free
Boys, I want to be in that number
When we set this whole world free
When our planes (when our planes)
Will win the sky (will win the sky)
When our planes will win the sky
Boys, I want to be in that number
When our planes will win the sky
Oh when the yanks (when the yanks)
Go marching in (go marching in)
When the yanks go marching in
Boys, I want to be in that number
When the yanks go marching in
