Irving Berlin - Any Bonds Today? Lyrics

The tall man with the high hat
And the whiskers on his chin
Will soon be knocking at your door
And you ought to be in
The tall man with the high hat
Will be coming down your way
Get your savings out when you hear
Him shout "Any bonds today?"

Any bonds today? Bonds of freedom
That's what I'm selling any bonds today?
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man
Asking you to buy a share of freedom today

Any stamps today? We'll be blest
If we all invest in the USA
Here comes the freedom man
Can't make tomorrow's plan
Not unless you buy a share of freedom today

First came the Czechs and then came the Poles
And then the Norwegians with
Three million souls
Then came the Dutch, the Belgians and France
Then all of the Balkans with hardly a chance
It's all in the Book if only you look
It's there if you read the text
They fell ev'ry one at the point of a gun
America mustn't be next

Any bonds today? All you give
Will be spent to live in the Yankee way
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man
Asking you to buy a share of freedom today
