Rally 'round the drum, boys, rally 'round the drum

We'll need all your powder, we'll need all your guns

Rally ‘round the drum, boys, rally round the drum

We'll need all your courage, we'll need all your sons



Hear the drummer's anthem call across the land

It grows ever stronger through every boy and man

Kiss your wife and children, that's what we're fighting 

for

Then come and join the rest as we go marching off to 

war!



Now the time has come, men, now the time is near

No time for hesitation, no time for showing fear

We have but two thousand, we'll need a thousand more

When we have three thousand we'll all march off to war.



[CHORUS]



Hear the drumbeat growing as it echoes in your chest

As we all march forward feel pity for the rest 

Like the wives and children they'll be safe and sound

But they'll never know the glory of a hero's renown.



[CHORUS]



We'll fight them in the valley, we'll fight them on the 

plains

We'll heed the drummer's call till the last of them are 

slain

We'll fight them in the mountains, we'll fight them on 

the sea

We will not stop fighting till death or victory



[CHORUS]



Rally 'round the drum, boys, rally 'round the drum

We'll need all your powder, we'll need all your guns

Rally ‘round the drum, boys, rally round the drum

We'll need all your courage, we'll need all your sons
