First
Verse
Johnnie get your gun, get you gun, get your gun,
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run,
Hear them calling you and me;
Every son of Liberty
Hurry right away, no delay, go today,
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine,
To be proud her boy's in line.
Second
Verse
Johnnie get your gun, get you gun, get your gun,
Johnnie show the Hun, you're a Son-of-a-Gun,
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Like true heros do or die
Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit,
Soldiers to the ranks from the towns and the tanks,
Make your Mother proud of you and to Liberty be true.
Chorus
Over There, Over There
Send the word, send the word,
Over There
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum tumming everywhere
So prepare,
Say a Prayer
Send the word,
Send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over.
And we won't be back till it's over over there!
Chorus
2
Over There, Over There
Send the word, send the word,
Over There
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum tumming everywhere
So prepare,
Say a Prayer
Send the word,
Send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over.

First
Verse
Paddy Mack drove a hack Up and down Broadway,
Pat had
one expression and he'd use it every day; Any time he'd
grab a fare, to take them for a ride, Paddy Jumped upon
the seat, cracked his whip and cried.
Second
Verse
One fine day on Broadway, Pat was driving
fast, When
the street was blown to pieces by a subway blast; Down
the hole poor Paddy went, a thinkin' of his past, Then
he says, says he, I think these words will be my last:
Third
Verse
First of all, at the call, When the war
began, Pat enlisted
in the army as a fighting man; When the drills began, they'd
walk a hundred miles a day, Tho the rest got tired, Paddy
always used to say:
Chorus
Where do we go from here boys, Where do
go from here?
Anywhere from Harlem to a Jersey City pier;" When Pat
would spy a pretty girl, he'd whisper in her ear, "Oh
joy,
Oh boy, Where do we go from here?"
Chorus
2
Where do we go from here boys, Where do
go from here?
Paddy's neck was in the wreck but still he had nor fear; He
saw a dead man next to him and whispered in his ear, "Oh
joy,
Oh boy, Where do we go from here?"
Chorus
3
Where do we go from here boys, Where do
go from here?
Slip a pill to Kaiser Bill and make him shed a tear;
And when we see the enemy we'll shoot in the rear, "Oh
joy,
Oh boy, Where do we go from here?"

First
Verse
I have come to say good bye, Mary, darling.
For America,
I sure must do my part. Now be brave and do not cry, Mary,
darling. Though this paring almost breaks your heart,
I know you will be lonely, Mary darling. I know that you
will never cease to care My thoughts will ever be of you,
dear, When I'm in the trenches over there.
Second
Verse
Tis for freedoms cause, this strife, Mary,
darling For our
liberty, On land and on the sea. I would gladly give my life,
Mary, darling. Fighting for the world's democracy, With
conscience right I'm ready, Mary darling. When duty calls
a soldier must obey And if I am spared I'll return, dear,
Back
to the good old U.S.A.
Chorus
At evening I'll lie a-dreaming Dreaming
of thee When o'er
the sea, In fancy I'll see you waiting, Waiting at home,
sweet home for me.

First
Verse
Over There, The silvry moon was
shining, Over There,
A soldier boy while pining, To the moon pleaded, And if
it heeded, This is what it heard him say, Oh!
Second
Verse
Over There,
The night was dark and dreary, Over There,
Two loving hearts were weary, Sweetheart and mother,
Asking each other, Will our Soldier boy return, Oh!
Chorus
Moon, of the summer
night, Your silvry beams bring me
dreams, of the loved ones way back home, Could you only
tell them all, That I'm safe tonight, How it would cheer up
the loved ones far across the foam, Over yonder in the
golden west, My mother's praying, And the little girl I love
the best, Is praying too, So I'm asking you, Oh! Moon.
Won't you send your light, And tell my mother for me, cross
the sea, Her boy's alright.

First
Verse
When Yankee Doodle came to Paris
town Upon his face he
wore a little frown To those he'd meet upon the street, he
ciouldn't speak a word, To find a Miss that he could kiss
it
seemed to be absurd. But if this Yankee should stay there
awhile Upon his face you're bound to see a smile.
Second
Verse
Soon Yankee
Doodle he left Paris town, Upon his face
there was a coat of brown, For every man of Uncle Sam was
fighting in a trench, Between each shell, they learned quite
well to speak a little French. When Yankee Doodle gets back
to Paree, He'll break a million hearts take it from me.
Chorus
When Yankee Doodle
learns to Parlez vous Francais
Parlez vous Francais, in the proper way, He will call
each girlie "Ma Cherie", To every Miss that wants
a kiss
he'll saw Wee, Wee On Ze Be, On Ze Bou, On Ze Boule,
Boulevard, With a girl, with a curl, you can see him
promenade When Yankee Doodle learns to Parlez vous
Francais, "Oo La La, Sweet Papa" he will teach them
all
to say.
