8th Grade - World War II Timeline Song

Here are the lyrics to our World War II timeline song.  I've also embedded the music video for OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" so you can hear how the song goes if you can't remember the tune.

Chorus:

In Sep-tember 1939 

Germany invaded Poland in a short time. 

Ju-ly ‘40 Battle of Britain. 

Pearl Harbor attacked 12/07/41. 

Star-ting Au-gust 1942

Battle of Stalingrad

(a bloody battle, true).

D-Day - June 6, 1944 

Germany gives up 

May 19-19-45. 

Chant:

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Bombed in August of ’45.

Japan surrendered a month later. 

And that ended World War II.
