Lyrics

1. Here come our Boys in Khaki and our Boys in Blue
   They are fighting for our country and the Allies, too
   They’re going across to join our army over there
   The Red, White and Blue Boy is bound to do his share

Refrain
I love our Army, I love our Navy
I love our boys in uniform
But best of all Boys, the Flying Corps Boys
They will take this war by storm
The Aviation of the great nation
Is the arm to win the war
I love our Army, I love our Navy
But here’s to the Flying Corps

2. All the boys are volunteering from the East and West
   They are gathering in regiments, our country’s best
   The crowds are cheering wildly as they all pass by
   They’re bound to win, Boys, or know the reason why
