The F.U.'S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And parachutes, chutes, chutes
We're going up, up, up
And coming down, down, down
We're all-American and proud to be
For we're the soldiers of liberty
Some fly their gliders to the enemy
Others are sky paratroopers
We're all-American and fight we will
'Till all the guns of the foe are still
Airborne from skies of blue, we're coming through, let's go
Put on your boots and parachutes
Get all those gliders ready to attack today
For we'll be gone, into the dawn, to fight them all the 82nd Way, Hey Hey
Put on your boots, boots, boot
And parachutes, chutes, chutes
We're going up, up, up
And coming down, down, down
We're all-American and proud to be
For we're the soldiers of liberty
Some fly their gliders to the enemy
Others are sky paratroopers
We're all-American and fight we will
'Till all the guns of the foe are still
Airborne from skies of blue, we're coming through, Let's Go
