LEND TO DEFEND THE RIGHT TO BE FREE
Lend to defend the right to be free,
Is one of the slogans we frequently see,
It’s meaning is simple, its purpose is true,
If you help the government, they will help you,
They need the money to win this war,
So if it is possible, please lend them more
We’re fighting for freedom, justice and pity,
That is the moral of my little ditty.

DIG FOR VICTORY

Be a self supporting man,
Help your country all you can,
Dig, Dig, Dig, for victory,
And win this war heroically,
Think of the sailors on the sea,
Bringing food for you and me,
Guarding our shores from every foe,
Gratitude to them we owe,
Free the sailors from their dangerous task,
Please carry on as the government asks,
One and all respond to their plea,
Dig Dig Dig for victory.
