[1st verse:]
They're gettin' ready
They're gettin' ready
We've had a row and now they're going to war
They've got their orders
To sail the waters
With heavy heart they start for a foreign shore
They're not excited
They're just delighted
To go and shake them, make them stand up and roar
Like they never did before
[Refrain:]
They're on their way to Mexico
Just see those Yankee fighters, foe exciters
Gettin' ready to go
They're on their way to win the day
Just take a look at those Yankee brothers
Waving to their grey hair'd mothers
Goodbye, they're leaving
Goodbye, stop grieving
Don't cry, they're glad to go
They'll make them run like a herd of cattleThey'll know they've had some battle
Way down in Mexico
[2nd verse:]
Come over near them
Come on and cheer them
They've got a right to fight this battle because
They've been invited
To go and fight it
And so they're in to win and they'll never pause
Until they take 'em
And then they'll make 'em
With head erect, respect America's laws
Give three cheers for them because
Irving Berlin, pseudonimo di Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), è stato uno dei compositori americani più influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Temesvár, in Romania, da una famiglia ebrea, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti all'età di 5 anni. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante e pianista nei locali di New York, scrivendo le sue prime canzoni mentre lavorava come cameriere. Nel 1911 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Alexander's Ragtime Band", che divenne un inno nazionale durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Berlin compose centinaia di canzoni, tra cui "White Christmas", "God Bless America" e "This Is a Lovely Day". Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili, testi semplici ma efficaci e una profonda comprensione del gusto popolare americano. Berlin ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui l'Oscar alla carriera nel 1971. La sua musica continua ad essere eseguita e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
