Intro: Put on your Boots, Boots, Boots and Parachutes, chutes, chutes, we're going up, up, up and coming down, down, down/

Refrain: 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/

For we'll be gone, into the dawn, to fight them all the 82nd Way, Hey Hey/

Intro: Put on your Boots, Boots, Boots and Parachutes, chutes, chutes, we're going up, up, up and coming down, down, down/

Refrain: 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
