Thread Name: Lyr Req: We Must Be Vigilant / American Patrol
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'American Patrol' - need lyrics, help

I listened to the Chico Marx and His Orchestra version (rec. New York, March 1942) on the above CD (VJC-1036). It begins: "We must be vigilant, we must be vigilant, American patrol / With arms for the army, ships for the navy ...", but, sorry, I couldn't transcribe the lyrics (one verse). The note given is:
WE MUST BE VIGILANT (AMERICAN PATROL) (3:49)
(Edgar Leslie & Joe Burke, 1942; adapted from "American Patrol"; E.H. Meacham, 1891; featured by Phil Spitalny's All Girl Orchestra; instrumental version by Glenn Miller)
