Babes in Arms Lyrics
[VALENTINE]
They call us babes in arms
But we are babes in armor
They laugh at babes in arms
But we'll be laughing far more
On city streets and farms
There'll be a rising war cry
Youth will arrive
Let them know you're alive!
Make it your cry!
[VALENTINE, MARSHALL, PETER, GUS, IVOR, AND IRVING]
They call us babes in arms
They think they must direct us
But if we're babes in arms
We'll make 'em all respect us
Why have we got our arms?
What have we got our sight for?
Play day is done
There's a place in the sun
We must fight for!
So babes in arms, to arms!
[BILLIE, ROSE, AND DOLORES]
They call us babes in arms
But we are babes in armor
They laugh at babes in arms
But we'll be laughing far more
On city streets and farms
There'll be a rising war cry
Youth will arrive
Let them know you're alive!
Make it your cry!
[ALL]
They call us babes in arms
They think they must direct us
But if we're babes in arms
We'll make 'em all respect us
Why have we got our arms?
What have we got our sight for?
Play day is done
There's a place in the sun
We must fight for!
So babes in arms, to arms!
