The country needs a man like you	A
It has a task for you to do	A
It has a job for you to face	B
Somewhere for you it has a place	B
Not all the slackers dodge the work	C
Of service where the cannon lurk	C
Not all the slackers on life's stage	D
Are boys of military age	D
The old the youthful and unfit	E
Must also do their little bit	E
	-
The country needs a man like you	A
'Twill suffer if you prove untrue	A
What though you cannot bear a gun	F
That isn't all that's to be done	F
There are a thousand other ways	G
To serve your country through the days	G
Of trial and the nights of storm	H
You need not wear a uniform	H
Or with the men in council sit	E
To serve the Flag and do your bit	E
	-
Somewhere for you there is a place	B
Somewhere you have a task to face	B
There's none so helpless or so frail	I
That cannot when our foes assail	I
In some way help our common cause	J
And be deserving of applause	K
Behind the Flag we all must be	L
Each at his post awake to see	L
That in so far as he has striven	F
His best was to his country given	F
	-
You can be patient brave and strong	M
And not complain when plans go wrong	M
You can be cheerful at your toil	N
Or till perhaps some patch of soil	N
You can encourage others who	A
Have heavier greater tasks to do	A
You can be loyal not in creed	O
Alone but in each thought and deed	O
You can make sacrifices too	A
The country needs a man like you	A
