VERSE 01: Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, listen sweethearts too/Our loving sons who chased the Huns are coming back to you/Ev’ry body make a lot of noise,/And shake the hands of our fighting boys. CHORUS: There’s goin’ to be a great big holiday/A raising Hail Columbia jolly day,/Like Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving, all rolled into one/There’ll be a great big smile on ev’ry face/There’ll be a great big welcome ev’ry plave/All the bands will play t’will be the wildest day that the whole world ever knew/There’ll be a million mothers meeting them/There’ll be a million sweetheart greeting them/There’ll be a hot time in the old town, when they come across the foam/There’ll be a scrap to see each chap again, who put Belgium on the map again/When Yankee Doodle sails upon the good ship/”Home Sweet Home” VERSE 02: How we love our Yankee heroes and our Allies too/You proved your worth the best on earth is none too good for you/Ev’ry body wants to shout and laugh/And we’ll soon kill the fatted calf. | |
