"...Though left behind we'll never shirk,
but cheerfully, busily work.
We will sew and clip and snip and knit
for our soldiers 'some-where in France.' ...
We'll do our bit with pride,
We'll knit,knit, knit,
Then we'll purl two, three,
Drop a stitch, pick it up right away,
While we work with a vim
That is dead sure to win
for the good old U. S. A." ...
And while they're fighting over there,
At home we'll continue to knit
That the service of the 'Red Cross' band
May be felt by the boys in France..."
