VERSE 01: Comrades and brothers, our loved ones and others/Have left us to join in the fight./Millions of others, their sweethearts and mothers,/Are proud that they fight for the right./In ev’ry home in our nation,/This is the prayer ev’ry night.
CHORUS: Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,/Hurry back,/Hurry back,/Be quick, do the trick, get it over,/Then don’t even stop to pack./The tears that we’ve shed make an ocean,/Home without you seems just like an empty shack;/So Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,/Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back!
VERSE 02: We have a new love, a red, white and blue love/For all of our boys over there./They have a true love, a real die or do love,/For home they will all do their share./In ev’ry heart there’s a longing,/In ev’ry home there’s a prayer.
