WE ARE THE 99TH

We come from the rank of the masses,
We are Scholars, clerks and steelworkers
We are the new Negro and the old,
We are boy-friends and husbands.

We are the 99th, --- the Fighting 99th.
Tho fame is ours, without the asking
But, how can the "just" be denied
Of honor, glory and undying respect?

We are the 99th, --- the Fighting 99th.
Today, your hosts, 
Tomorrow, your soldiers.
We are your sons, your brothers
Weare the 99th, --- The Fighting 99th.
