VERSE 01: Johnny Johnson feeling fit/Uniform and army kit/Johnny was a cam’ra fiend/Of that trip had often dreamed/Sweetheart crying at the pier/Said “I’m proud of you my dear”/Now you’ll realize your dreams/Taking pictures of those scenes,/Said John that’s what I’ll do/And I’ll send them home to you. CHORUS: When I send you a picture of London/Then you’ll know I’ve landed safely “Over There”/When I send you a snapshot of Paris/You’ll know I’m ready to do and dare (I’ll do my share)/You’ll know I’m thinking about you,/When I send you my photo all alone/But when I send you a picture of Berlin/You’ll know it’s over, “Over There”/I’m coming home. VERSE 02: Sweetheart waving at the pier/Saw the transport disappear/Dried her tears and heaves a sigh/Said he’ll come back, “bye and bye”/There are millions more like him/Full of vim in fighting trim/Smiling when they sail away/Our debt to France they’re glad to pay/We’ll miss them all at home/But there’s truth in Johnny’s poem. | |
