Your King and Country Want You We've watched you playing cricket and every kind of game, At football, golf and polo you men have made your name. But now your country calls you to play your part in war. And no matter what befalls you We shall love you all the more. So come and join the Forces As your fathers did before. Oh, we don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go. For your King and your country both need you so. As your fathers did before. Oh, we don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go. For your King and your country both need you so.

Chorus of We Must All Fall In (If We Want To Win) We must all fall in, if we want to win, For that is the only way, Some don't care, well that's not fair; Ev'ry man must do his share. There’s a job for me and a job for you. So rise to Australia’s call; If we all pull together, boys, We'll come out on top after all! We shall want you and miss you But with all our might and main We shall cheer you, thank you, bless you When you come home again.

Over There Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Take it on the run, On the run, on the run. Hear them calling, you and me, Every son of liberty. Hurry right away, No delay, go today, Make your daddy glad To have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line. (chorus sung twice) Chorus Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there - That the Yanks are coming, The Yanks are coming, The drums rum-tumming Ev'rywhere.

Over There Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Take it on the run, On the run, on the run. Hear them calling, you and me, Every son of liberty. Hurry right away, No delay, go today, Make your daddy glad To have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line. (chorus sung twice) Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Johnnie show the Hun Who's a son of a gun. Hoist the flag and let her fly, Yankee Doodle do or die. Pack your little kit, Show your grit, do your bit. Yankee to the ranks, From the towns and the tanks. Make your mother proud of you, And the old Red, White and Blue. (chorus sung twice)
