The Readiness is All by Ken Levine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the foreign hordes come marching into town,
Will you be prepared to stand those buggers down?
They'll do their level best to take all that's rightly yours,
And it's your sole duty to keep them from our shores!

[Chorus]
The readiness is all!
(When the greenhorn muscles in!)
Oh, the readiness is all!
(To put down an alien!)

[Verse 2]
If all you see around you are yellow, black, and brown
And the copper sites on the all the fields with what goes in your town
Cock your pistols, load your cannon, make sure bayonets are fixed
Or else you'll rue the day the race is intermixed!

[Chorus]
The readiness is all!
(There are strangers in our land!)
Oh, the readiness is all!
(We will seize the upper hand!)
The readiness is all!
(When your back's against the wall!)
Oh, the readiness is all!
(When you should be standing tall!)
