[Verse 1] Oh, a sleepy Sunday morning, In Honolulu there’s no warning, Airmen, sailors, and officers, And admirals, in fine array, Prepare for an easy day [Verse 2] Then on the radar blips appear What are these, coming near? They must be our boys coming Home now that you hear. There is nothing to fear. [Chorus] Day of infamy! Day of ire! Harbour engulfed in flames of fire December Seven, Forty One The pacific war has now begun! [Verse 3] Then the bombs started dropping Before the AA guns were popping And the torpedoes were in the water Aimed at the battleships all in a row Lined up as targets for the foe [Chorus] Day of infamy! Day of ire! Harbour engulfed in flames of fire December Seven, Forty One The pacific war has now begun! [Verse 4] And the tracers were unloaded But the magazines exploded Thousands slain in the defence They were caught off guard They were pressed so hard [Instrumental] [Bridge] Tora! Tora! Tora! Remember Arizona! Tora! Tora! Tora! Remember Oklahoma! Tora! Tora! Tora! Remember California! Tora! Tora! Tora! Remember West Virginia! [Instrumental] [Chorus] Day of infamy! Day of ire! Harbour engulfed in flames of fire December Seven, Forty One The pacific war has now begun! [Verse 5] A nation shocked and battered But their will wouldn’t be shattered The Rising sun woke a sleeping giant And in him cold resolve instilled Who wouldn’t rest till revenge fulfilled. [Chorus] Day of infamy! Day of ire! Harbour engulfed in flames of fire December Seven, Forty One The pacific war has now begun! [End]
