What a friend we have in Congress
Who Will guard our every shore
Spends three quarters of our taxes getting ready for a war
Guns must make our coast line bristle
and we have to fill the sky
Full of planes and guided missles they'll be paid for by and by
Have you noticed all the progress in our mighty air borne fleet
By the time a planes adopted its already obsolete
Theres no factory profit brother and we have to do or die
One improvment then another, they'll be paid for by and by
Modern bombs are sure to carry loads or glory joy and thrill
What a privelege to bury all the dead our money kills
Never mind the widows weeping
Disgregard the orphans cry
When God wakes the dead and sleeping, they'll be paid for by and by
