VERSE 01: Goodbye New York town, goodbye Miss Liberty,/Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea,/Ev'ry soldier's sweetheart bidding goodbye,/Ev'ry soldier's mother drying her eye/Cheer up we'll soon be there,/Singing this Yankee air:CHORUS 01: Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,/We're ten million strong,/Goodbye sweethearts wives and mothers,/It won't take us long,/Don't you worry while we're there,/It's for you we're fighting too,/So Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,/We're going to square our debt to you.VERSE 02: Vive Pershing is the cry across the sea/We're united in this fight for liberty/France sent us a soldier, brave La Fayette/Whose deeds and fame we cannot forget/Now that we have the chance we'll pay our debt to France.CHORUS 02: Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,/We're ten million strong,/Goodbye sweethearts wives and mothers,/It won't take us long,/Don't you worry while we're there,/It's for you we're fighting too,/So Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,/We're going to help you win this war. | |
