Oh, I Dam the Unknown Soldier who Adied in World War Two.
I Gdidn't want to fight, it was the Donly thing to do.G  
I was the victim of a Dworld that went insane--
Will you Gshow me that I Ddidn't Adie in Dvain.
    Remember Gme, when the crosses are a Dburnin',
    Remember Ame, when the racists come aDround.
    Remember Gme, when the tides of peace are Dturnin',
    Remember Ame and Gplease don't Dlet Ame Ddown.
On the South DPacific Islands and the AIwo Jima sands
We Graised the flag of freedom over maDny distant lands
And every time I killed a man my own hDeartfelt the pain--
Will you shGow me that I diDdn't dAie in vaDin.
    Remember mGe, when the crosses are a bDurnin',
    Remember Ame, when the racists come aDround.
    Remember Gme, when the tides of peace are Dturnin',
    Remember Ame and Gplease don't Dlet Ame Ddown.
And I cDarried my old rifle to the EAuropean shore
And evGery friend that died made me dDie a little more.
Have pity on the man who put a bullDet through my brain
And sGhow me that I dDidn't Adie in vDain.
    Remember Gme, when the crosses are a Dburnin',
    Remember Ame, when the racists come aDround.
    Remember Gme, when the tides of peace are Dturnin',
    Remember Ame and Gplease don't Dlet Ame Ddown.
When the FaDscists started marching many miAllions had to pay;
We saw thGem rise to power but we loDoked the other way.
It happened once before and it can haDppen once again--
Will you sGhow me that I dDidn't diAe in vaDin.
    Remember Gme, when the crosses are a Dburnin',
    Remember Ame, when the racists come aDround.
    Remember Gme, when the tides of peace are Dturnin',
    Remember Ame and Gplease don't Dlet Ame Ddown.
