VERSE 01: Home again from France and Flanders/Where we smashed them all to smanders/Where we did a little gunning/For the Hun and got him running/Home again to mother’s eats/To Ostermoors and good white sheets!/”Am Rhine our line did shine and dine/But U.S.A.: You sure look fine! CHORUS: Home again from over there,/Where we chased them ev’rywhere,/Corked that geyser, called the Kaiser/Left him extra pale (Budweiser/but wiser)!/Now it’s over/We’re in clover/Welcome back your long lost rover!/Come on and make a lot of fuss,/For this old town looks good to us! VERSE 02: Home again and safe from danger from some pretty allied stranger/Safe to whisper how we missed her/To some other Yankee’s sister/Stead of dodging bursting shells/We’re now sidestepping wedding bells/Tho we might go back if we could/Old U.S.A: You sure look good! | |
