It's gonna take everybody to win this war

The butcher and the baker and the clerk in the store

The guys who sail the ships and the guys who run the trains

And the farmer raising wheat upon the Kansas plains

The butcher the baker the tinker and the tailor

We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor

We're working in the cities we're working in the woods

We'll all work together to deliver the goods

Now me and my boss we never did agree

If a thing helped him then it didn't help me

But when a burglar tries to bust into your house

You stop fighting with the landlord and throw him out

The butcher the baker the tinker and the tailor

We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor

We're working in the cities we're working in the woods

We'll all work together to deliver the goods

I got a new job and I'm working overtime

Turning out tanks on the assembly line

Got to crank up the factories like the president said

Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead

The butcher the baker the tinker and the tailor

We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor

We're working in the cities we're working in the woods

We'll all work together to deliver the goods

I bet this tank will look mighty fine

Punching holes in Mr Hitler's line

And if Adolf wakes up after the raid

He'll find every piece of shrapnel says union made

The butcher the baker the tinker and the tailor

We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor

We're working in the cities we're working in the woods

We'll all work together to deliver the goods

From New York city to Frisco bay

We're speeding up production every day

And every time a wheel goes 'round

It carries Mr Hitler to the burying ground

The butcher the baker the tinker and the tailor

We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor

We're working in the cities we're working in the woods

We'll all work together to deliver the goods

The butcher the baker the tinker and the tailor

We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor

We're working in the cities we're working in the woods

We'll all work together to deliver the goods
