Transcript: Ric-a-Dam-Doo

 

In a foreign field,
In a distant land,
When our country called,
We were there.
Hear the battle cry,
See the Ric-a-Dam-Doo,
It’s a flag of freedom in the air.

Always glorious, victorious,
Standing shoulder to shoulder to the end.
While the world is turning,
We’ll keep the home fires burning,
Until we meet again.

Over stormy seas,
Ever far away,
Never fear nor feel it’s a cross we bear.
Under crimson and blue,
It’s the Ric-a-Dam-Doo,
Singing songs of freedom everywhere.

Always glorious, victorious,
Standing shoulder to shoulder to the end.
While the world is turning,
We’ll keep the home fires burning.
Until we meet again.

Under crimson and blue,
It’s the Ric-a-Dam-Doo.

Under crimson and blue,
It’s the Ric-a-Dam-Doo.
