DECEMBER SEVENTH
Do you all remember just a year ago today?
When those sneaky, dirty Japs gave a blow to the U. S. A.?
They came in sneaking up the coasts, took our boys all on surprise
Made our own United nation, every single Jap despise.
Our boys have fought them bravely, and lost their courage not,
And they tried darn hard to lick those Japs, right on that very spot.
Our boys wanted freedom, and freedom it would be,
When the red, white and blue, stood out for Liberty.
And our boys kept "Old Glory" flying high into the sky,
And saved our dear "Pearl Harbor", how thankful you and I;
The Japs they did some damage, they started up our fears,
But I bet they will be awfully sorry, in a few more months or years.
