I'm A Child Ta Fight

I’m ruff, I’m tuff, I’m double tuff
Cast iron through and through
My eyeballs both are forty fours,
And my teeth are thirty twos. 

I’m a child ta fight!
I’m a child ta fight!
Hey all you fascists, here I come!
I’m a child ta fight.

I’ve marched in fifty armies;
I’ve won two hundred wars;
I’m gonna lay them fascists down
If it takes me a thousand years.
Nobody big enough to bully me;
Cain’t slap my folks around;
Grab my ole squirrely gun in my hand,
I’ll bring you superboys down!

I’m a child ta fight,
I’m a child ta fight! 
Look out you fascists, here I come!
I’m a child ta fight!

I’m a child ta fight,
I’m a child ta fight! 
Look out you fascists, here I come!
I’m a child ta fight! 

Hitler blasted Europe down
From Russia down to Spain;
I’ma gonna take my choppin’ axe
An’ bust that Hitler chain!
My toes are made of pigiron;
My hands are tempered steel
Grab me a ‘zooky and a war tank, yes
And stop that Hitler heel.

I’m a child ta fight,
I’m a child ta fight! 
Look out you fascists, here I come!
I’m a child ta fight! 

You fascists got my temper up,
You supers got me mad;
Before my fists gits through with you,
Y’r gonna look porely sad
It’s when I crossed that ocean foam
With my rifle on that hut,
I shot so daddbern many ways,
I opened up a dozen fronts.

I’m a child ta fight,
I’m a child ta fight! 
Look out you fascists, here I come!
I’m a child ta fight! 

I’m a child ta fight,
I’m a child ta fight! 
Look out you fascists, here I come!
I’m a child ta fight!
