Over There 1917

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Mar 2003

Johnnie get your gun,
get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run,
on the run, on the run;
Hear them calling you and me;
ev'ry son of liberty.
Hurry right away,
no delay, go today,
make your Daddy glad,
to have had such a lad,
tell your sweetheart not to pine,
to be proud her boy's in line.

Over there, over there,
send the word,
send the word over there,
that the Yanks are coming,
the Yanks are coming,
the drums rumtumming ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
send the word,
send the word to beware,
we'll be over,
we're coming over,
and we won't come back
till it's over over there.

Over there, over there,
send the word,
send the word over there,
that the Yanks are coming,
the Yanks are coming,
the drums rumtumming ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
send the word,
send the word to beware,
we'll be over,
we're coming over,
and we won't come back
till it's over over there.

Johnnie get your gun,
get your gun, get your gun
Johnnie show the Hun,
you're a sonofagun,
hoist the flag and let her fly,
like true heroes do or die.
Pack your little kit,
show your grit, do your bit,
soldiers to the ranks
from the towns and the tanks,
make your Mother proud of you,
and to liberty be true.

Over there, over there,
send the word,
send the word over there,
that the Yanks are coming,
the Yanks are coming,
the drums rumtumming ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
send the word,
send the word to beware,
we'll be over,
we're coming over,
and we won't come back
till it's over over there.

Over there, over there,
send the word,
send the word over there,
that the Yanks are coming,
the Yanks are coming,
the drums rumtumming ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
send the word,
send the word to beware,
we'll be over,
we're coming over,
and we won't come back
till it's over over there.
