For Your Country And My Country (1917) We know you love your land of liberty We know you love your U.S.A. But if you want the world to know it Now's the time to show it Your Uncle Sammy needs you one and all Answer to his call For your country and my country With millions of real fighting men It's your duty and my duty To speak with the sword, not a pen If Washington were living today With sword in hand he'd stand up and say For your country and my country I'll do it all over again [2] America has opened up her heart To ev'ry nationality And now she asks of ev'ry nation Their appreciation It makes no diff'rence now from where you came We are all the same By Irving Berlin
