"Let's All Be Americans Now”Written by Irving Berlin, Edgar Leslie and George W. Meyer, performed

by American Quartet, recorded spring, 1917 (2:54)

Peace has always been our prayer ,

Now there's trouble in the air

War is talked of everywhere

Still in God we trust

We’re not looking for any kind of war

But if fight we must

It’s up to you, what will you do?

England or France may have your sympathy

Or Germany, but you’ll agree

That now is the time, to fall in line

It’s war that you want

So be true to your vow

Let’s all be Americans now!
