"Let's All Be Americans Now”
Written by Irving Berlin, Edgar Leslie and George W. Meyer, performed
by American Quartet, recorded spring, 1917 (2:54)
Peace has always been our prayer ,
Now there's trouble in the air
War is talked of everywhere
Still in God we trust
We’re not looking for any kind of war
But if fight we must
It’s up to you, what will you do?
England or France may have your
sympathy
Or Germany, but you’ll agree
That now is the time, to fall in line
It’s war that you want
So be true to your vow
Let’s all be Americans now!
