Subject: Lyr Add: WE'LL SLAP THE JAPS (RIGHT INTO THE LAPS
WE'LL SLAP THE JAPS (RIGHT INTO THE LAPS OF THE NAZIS) As performed by the Four Sportsmen in a "Soundie" (early music video), 1942.
[a] Oh, we didn't want to do it, but they're asking for it now, So we'll slap the Japs right into the laps of the Nazis. When they hop on Honolulu, that's a thing we won't allow, So we'll slap the Japs right into the laps of the Nazis. Thumbs up, England; we're proud of you. We'll show them there's no yellow in the red white and blue. I'd hate to be in Yokohama when our bombers make their bow, For we'll slap the Japs right into the laps of the Nazis.
[b] It's here at last; the die is cast, America. The flag flies high, so do or die, America. Let's stand together today In that old American way. Get in this fight with all your might And make those cowards pay.
[repeat a]
[c] Oh, we're gonna go to Tokyo and start a little row, And we'll slap the Japs right into the laps of the Nazis. So let ev'ry brave American stand up and make a vow That they'll slap the Japs right into the laps of the Nazis. ...(?) Yankees, let's see it through, And show them there's no yellow in the red white and blue. Oh, there'll be a celebration and it's gonna be a wow When we slap the Japs right into the laps of the Nazis.
