Raider Robbie said to you "What are you going to do? Bombs droppin' everywhere Bullets flyin' through your hair" You look at him with an empty face And then he put you in your place He said "Get up, stand up, fight for your right. And pray to God you come home tonight." Raider Robbie told to you What you had to do Hiding down in a foxhole That is when you made your goal You looked at him and then you said "Let's do this for all the dead" You said "Let's get up, stand up, fight for our right. And pray to God you come home tonight." Raider Robbie and you Did what you had to do Got up and ran through the battlefield But Raider Robbie used you as a shield Running through the gunfire Diving under barbed wire. We said "Get up, stand up, fight for your right. And pray to God we come home tonight." When Raider Robbie saw you fall He stood straight up, strong and tall. He knew what happened to you 'cuz you did what you had to do He dragged your body back to base And put it in the CO's face. He said "You got up, stood up, and fought for our right. But now he's not going home tonight." Raider Robbie decided you Did all that you could do Placed a purple heart on your chest And buried you in front leaning rest. And at your funeral he said You did it for all the dead. "He got up, stood up, and fought for our right. But now he's not going home tonight." And when the battle was all done Because of you the US won Raider Robbie made it through Only because of you And now he says to the rest That you were one of the best "You got up, stood up, and fought for our right. And because of you we went home tonight."
