Berlin Irving This Time lyrics

Berlin Irving
This Is The Army (1942)
This Time
'Twas not so long ago
We sailed to meet the foe
And thought our fighting days were done
We thought 'twas over then
But now we're in again
To win the war that wasn't won

This time
We will all make certain
That this time is the last time

This time
We will not say "Curtain"
Till we ring it down
In their own home town


For this time
We are out to finish the job we started then
Clean it up for all time this time
So we won't have to do it again

Dressed up to win
We're dressed up to win
Dressed up for victory
We are just beginning
And we won't stop winning
Till the world is free

[coda:]
We'll fight to the finish this time
And we'll never have to do it again
