Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack 1917

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 20 Jul 2002

Comrades and brothers,
our loved ones and others
have left us to join in the fight.
Millions of others,
their sweethearts and mothers
are proud that they fight for the right.
In ev'ry home in our nation,
this is the prayer ev'ry night

Oh, Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
hurry back, hurry back.
Be quick, do the trick, get it over,
then don't even stop to pack.
The tears that we've shed make an ocean,
home without you
seems just like an empty shack;
so Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back!

Oh, Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
hurry back, hurry back.
Be quick, do the trick, get it over,
then don't even stop to pack.
The tears that we've shed make an ocean,
home without you
seems just like an empty shack;
so Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back!

We have a new love,
a red, white and blue love
for all of our boys over there.
They have a true love,
a real die or do love
for home they will all do their share.
In ev'ry heart there's a longing,
in ev'ry home there's a prayer

Oh, Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
hurry back, hurry back.
Be quick, do the trick, get it over,
then don't even stop to pack.
The tears that we've shed make an ocean,
home without you
seems just like an empty shack;
so Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back!

Oh, Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
hurry back, hurry back.
Be quick, do the trick, get it over,
then don't even stop to pack.
The tears that we've shed make an ocean,
home without you
seems just like an empty shack;
so Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack,
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back!
