VERSE 01: Our soldiers in the trenches received their mail today,/From sweethearts, wives and mothers in the gold old U. S. A./There’s one whose heart is dancing, his eyes light up with joy,/He reads the letter over and he shouts, “Boys, it’s a boy!”VERSE 02: This soldier boy’s a reader, he’s read Shakespeare and the rest,/And he knows Kipling backwards, if you put him to the test | |
/But now he claims the greatest of poets never wrote/A poem half so pretty as this welcome little note:CHORUS: He got those big blue eyes like you, Daddy,/The kind of eyes that seem to speak/And when he smiles he looks like you, Daddy,/Yes, even to the dimple in his cheek/I’ve named him after you, for I knew you’d want me to,/He reminds me of you all the time/When he grows to be a man,/I’ll give him up to Uncle Sam,/Just like I did with you, Daddy mine! | |
