Lyrics
- The battle’s on, “Somewhere in France”
Our boys are over there
They are fighting for our own U. S.
On land, on sea, in air
What are we doing here at home
For our Security?
We each must do our little “Bit”
It’s up to you and me
Chorus
Do your little “Bitty Bit” right now
Do your little “Bitty Bit” some how
Either buy a Bond or fight
For all that just and right
and help your dear old Uncle Sam
Do your little “Bitty Bit” right now
Do your little “Bitty Bit” some how
With our Yankee “Pep” and “Vim”
We will pitch right in and win
Do your little “Bitty Bit” right now
- The battle’s o’er, the cause is won
Our boys are homeward bound
They fought the fight for Liberty
With victory were crowned
We’ll greet them all when they return
And with them make a “Hit”
When they find out we didn’t “Slack”
But did our little “Bit”
