Any Bonds Today? was the theme song of the National Defense Savings Program.

The words and music were by Irving Berlin When the "tall man with the high hat" came knocking, as Berlin refered to Uncle Sam,

8 out of every 13 Americans scraped together a total of 185ドル.7 billion to invest in victory.

Other artists also sang this Irving Berlin song, such as the popular Andrews Sisters.
listen to the song here

http://lyrics.astraweb.com/display/924/irving_berlin..unknown..any_bonds_today.html

[Verse:]

The tall man with the high hat and the whiskers on his chin
Will soon be knocking at your door and you ought to be in
The tall man with the high hat will be coming down your way
Get your savings out when you hear him shout "Any bonds today?"

[Refrain:]
Any bonds today?
Bonds of freedom
That's what I'm selling
Any bonds today?
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man
Asking you to buy a share of freedom today

Any stamps today?
We'll be blest
If we all invest
In the U.S.A.
Here comes the freedom man
Can't make tomorrow's plan
Not unless you buy a share of freedom today

First came the Czechs and then came the Poles
And then the Norwegians with three million souls
Then came the Dutch, the Belgians and France
Then all of the Balkans with hardly a chance
It's all in the Book if only you look
It's there if you read the text
They fell ev'ry one at the point of a gun
America mustn't be next

Any bonds today?
All you give
Will be spent to live
In the Yankee way
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the freedom man

Asking you to buy a share of freedom today
