Verse 1: "It's dandy just to see the soldier heros march and sway,
So eager to defend the rights of dear old U.S.A.
To fight for you and me and uphold Liberty,
So ev'ry girl should do her bit to help them in her way.
It's hard to say good bye on leaving day,
It's sad to see our loved ones sail away."
Chorus: "So ev'ry girl is knitting for some mother's son in France.
Ev'ry girlie's heart is beating true; to win to win a cause that's right
you soldier boys will have a chance for all the girls are knitting things for you
From ones you've parted
but don't be down hearted
At your country's future give a glance.
No matter where you roam, remember that at home
Ev'ry girl is knitting for some mother's son in France."
Verse 2: "The girls you left behind you, They are busy day and night,
They're working hard and praying for the boys who have to fight.
Ah! they know what to do for Yankee Doodle Doo.
They're making lots of pretty things to make your burden light.
They're [sic] knitting bags are constantly in sight,
They're making useful things with all their might."
