n this whole w
ide world
That's the uni

r the fascists
down, down, d
own
That's the uni
on that'll tea
r the fascists
down
When I think o
f the men and
the ships goin
g down
While the Russ
ians fight on
across the Don
There's London
in ruins and
Paris in chain
s
Good people, w
hat are we wai
ting on?
Good people, w
hat are we wai
ting on?
[Verse 2]
So, I thank th
e Soviets and
the mighty Chi

ave ten millio
n Yanks
If it takes 'e
m to tear the

If it takes 'e
m to tear the

But
when I think o

There's London

Good people, w

If it takes 'e
