Lyrics

1. There are Sue and Jane in their uniforms
   With a band around their arm
   There are girls next door and across the street
   Who will keep our courage warm
   It’s a sacrifice little girl we know
   It has won our true esteem
   And on the field of service
   While the dark draws o’er us
   Our hearts just seem to sing

Chorus:
I’ll go to sleep tonight and dream
Of that Red Cross girl of mine
She’s just the kind of girl to dream of
She’s lovely, she’s divine
What chance has Kaiser Bill to win
When we have a million men in line
Who have plucky little girls to keep them well
Like that Red Cross girl of mine

2. Everyone is called now to do their part
   For the good old U. S. A.
   And the girls you find over all the land
   They are ready boys today
   And we’ll fight and win for we always know
   They’ll save those who might be lost
   For our Red Cross beauties
   Will perform their duties
   No matter what the cost
