This song kills fascists
[Verse 1]
CThere's a great and a bloody fight 'round this Fwhole world tonCight 
And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel Greign
Hitler Ctold the world around he would Ftear our union Cdown
But our union's gonna break them slavery chains 
Our union's gonna Gbreak them slavery Cchains
[Verse 2]
CI walked up on a mountain in the Fmiddle of the Csky 
Could see every farm and every Gtown 
I could Csee all the people in this Fwhole wide Cworld
That's the union that'll tear old Hitler down
That's the union that'll tear the Gfascists Cdown

CWhen I think of the men and the Fships going Cdown
While the Russians fight on across the Gdawn
There's CLondon in ruins and FParis in Cchains
Good people, what are we waiting on? 
Good people, what Gare we waiting Con?
[Verse 4]
CYes, I thank the Soviets and the Fmighty Chinese Cvets
Allies the whole wide world Garound 
To the Cbattling British, thanks, you can Fhave ten million CYanks 
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down 
If it takes 'em to Gtear the fascists Cdown
[Verse 5]

Good people, what are we waiting on? 
Good people, what Gare we waiting Con?

CSo I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets 
Allies the whole wide world Garound 
To the Cbattling British, thanks, you can Fhave ten million CYanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down
