Cheer up! We're off today,
Cheer up! while I'm away,
Take care of Times Square
and ev'ry spot on old Broadway.
Cheer up! Eliza, do,
soon I'll be back to you.
There's a little job that must be done,
and doing it will just be fun.

So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'll be a whole lot wiser,
and I'll come back soon
so don't you care.
I'm a kid you must admit,
and I'll love to do my bit,
for they need me over there.
So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'm going to can the Kaiser,
and that's all that I have got to do.
Oh! I don't mean to brag,
but I'll grab a German flag,
and bring it back to you.

So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'll be a whole lot wiser,
and I'll come back soon
so don't you care.
I'm a kid you must admit,
and I'll love to do my bit,
for they need me over there.
So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'm going to can the Kaiser,
and that's all that I have got to do.
Oh! I don't mean to brag,
but I'll grab a German flag,
and bring it back to you.

Cheer up! At last we're in,
Cheer up! put on a grin,
somewhere in France, there,
the thought of you will make us win.
Cheer up! The pay I'll earn,
I'll bring when I return,
to the little girl that I love best,
and I'll wear a medal on my chest.

So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'll be a whole lot wiser,
and I'll come back soon
so don't you care.
I'm a kid you must admit,
and I'll love to do my bit,
for they need me over there.
So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'm going to can the Kaiser,
and that's all that I have got to do.
Oh! I don't mean to brag,
but I'll grab a German flag,
and bring it back to you.

So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'll be a whole lot wiser,
and I'll come back soon
so don't you care.
I'm a kid you must admit,
and I'll love to do my bit,
for they need me over there.
So it's cheer up! Liza,
I'm going to can the Kaiser,
and that's all that I have got to do.
Oh! I don't mean to brag,
but I'll grab a German flag,
and bring it back to you.
