Over There |
George M. Cohan, 1917
Johnnie get your gun, Get your 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 their boy's in line. Refrain (x2): |: Over There :| |: Send the word :| Over There That the Yanks are coming The Yanks are coming The drums rum-tuming everywhere. So prepare say a pray'r |: Send the word :| To beware. We'll be over We're coming over And we won't come back Till it's over Over There. |
2. Johnnie get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Johnny show the Hun You're a son of a gun Hoist the flag and let her fly Yankee Doodle do or die Pack your little kit Show your grit do your bit Yankees to the ranks From the towns and the tanks Make your mother proud of you And the old Red White and Blue.
