American Defense

[Chorus]
No use in sheddin' no tears
No use in having no fears
This war may last you for years

[Verse 1]
American defense
Well you use some sense
Just have to take care of your boys
You must raise more produce
Farmers, set sail and use
Just to save all your worries in toils

[Chorus]
No use in having no fears
No use in sheddin' no tears
This war may last you for years

[Verse 2]
Well the red, white, and blue
That represents you
You ought to do everything that you can
Buy a war savin' stamps
Young men go to their camps
Be brave and take a stand

[Chorus]
No use in sheddin' no tears
No use in having no fears
This war may last you for years

[Verse 3]
Oh that troubles sometimes
All upsets your mind
Well you all know just what to do
Keep pushin, keep shovin'
Don't be angry, be loved
Be a good fellow, honest and true

[Chorus]
No use in sheddin' no tears
No use in having no fears
This war may last you for years

[Verse 4]
You can say yes or no
But we got to win this war
Because General MacArthur is not afraid
Their won't be enough Japs
To shoot a little game of craps
Because the biggest of them all will be dead

[Chorus]
No use in sheddin' no tears
No use in having no fears
This war may last you for years

[Verse 5]
This war sure do bother
Our mother and father
Our sisters and brothers, too
Dear friends and relations
This war'll end creation
Don't let this worry you

[Chorus]
No use in sheddin' no tears
No use in having no fears
This war may last you for years
