2.

We’ll chase the U-boats from the sea—

They shall no more a danger be,

And he who sails the ocean clear

With us to guide need have no fear.

We’re bold marines who dearly love to fight

While o’er us floats our starry banner bright.

They may do Sailor’s Hornpipe if desired.

Uncle Sam:

You all have heard the story

How the Minute Men of old

Were ever at their Country’s call—

So watchful and so bold.

They carried warning thru the night

Which led to victory

And gathered all the patriots

To fight for Liberty.

Like them are my Four Minute Men

Who speak instead of fight

And urge a listening country

To aid the cause of right.

Four Minute Men—Five boys dressed in colonial costume if desired.

1st.In every large assembly
We’re always sure to be.
2nd.We speak on many subjects
Dear to Democracy.
3rd.We speak about the Stamps and Bonds
And urge you all to buy.
4th.Because it’s necessary
And tell the reason why.
5th.We thus reach many people
Who otherwise would say
“No one asked me to buy a thing”
And try to shirk that way.
All.We’re like the Minute Men of old
Altho we do not fight
We bring a warning message
That you may aid the right.

Uncle Sam:

My aviators rule the air

They wing their way on high

And soon they’ll drive the enemy

Forever from the sky.

Aviators—11 boys in aviator’s costume. 5 of them speak.

1st.We’re Uncle Sam’s birdmen, with temperament strange
For we’re usually up in the air
When it comes to a fight with a foe in the clouds
No others with us can compare.
2nd.We swoop thru the air like a bird on the wing
We circle, we dive, and we rise.
High up o’er the world with our hearts free from care
We speed on our path thru the skies.
3rd.If the plane of an enemy ever approaches
In battle we promptly engage.
Till the foe falls in ruins, down, down to the earth
Our warfare relentless we wage.
4th.With nerves that are steady, with eyes that are keen
We traverse the uncharted blue
And we call to the stars and the moon as we pass
And they twinkle as if they all knew.
5th.From the skies of the world all intruders we’ll drive
And the air raids shall quite cease to be
When we’re finished there won’t be a Zeppelin left
To annoy this fair land of the free.

They sing, air, “Kentucky Home”. This is very effective if accompanied with appropriate gestures.
