The Navy Will Bring Them Back 1918

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Sep 2005

"Over There" we hear of heroes,
who've been fighting for you and me,
Ev'rywhere we see our soldiers,
decorated for bravery.
Tho' we are proud of them you bet,
don't let that make us all forget:

On the sea, we've other heroes too,
on the sea, our sailor boys in blue;
with their swift destroyers,
submarine annoyers,
they've been tried and true;
God bless them!
Now this war is over, "Over There"
we'll have to take our hats right off to Jack,
tho' the Army is the clover,
'twas the Navy took them over,
and the Navy will bring them back!

On the sea, we've other heroes too,
on the sea, our sailor boys in blue;
with their swift destroyers,
submarine annoyers,
they've been tried and true;
God bless them!
Now this war is over, "Over There"
we'll have to take our hats right off to Jack,
tho' the Army is the clover,
'twas the Navy took them over,
and the Navy will bring them back!

"Over There" our fleet is lying,
safely guarding the troubled sea,
Ev'rywhere our flag is flying,
as a symbol of Victory.
We knew our boys were bound to win,
but why not count the Navy in?

On the sea, we've other heroes too,
on the sea, our sailor boys in blue;
with their swift destroyers,
submarine annoyers,
they've been tried and true;
God bless them!
Now this war is over, "Over There"
we'll have to take our hats right off to Jack,
tho' the Army is the clover,
'twas the Navy took them over,
and the Navy will bring them back!

On the sea, we've other heroes too,
on the sea, our sailor boys in blue;
with their swift destroyers,
submarine annoyers,
they've been tried and true;
God bless them!
Now this war is over, "Over There"
we'll have to take our hats right off to Jack,
tho' the Army is the clover,
'twas the Navy took them over,
and the Navy will bring them back!
