Where Do We Go From Here 1917

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Feb 2003

Paddy Mack drove a hack
up and down Broadway,
Pat had one expression
and he'd use it ev'ry day,
any time he'd grab a fare,
to take them for a ride,
Paddy jumped upon the seat,
cracked his whip and cried:

"Where do we go from here, boys,
where do we go from here?
Anywhere from Harlem
to a Jersey city pier;"
When Pat would spy a pretty girl,
he'd whisper in her ear:
"Oh joy, Oh boy,
where do we go from here?"

"Where do we go from here, boys,
where do we go from here?
Anywhere from Harlem
to a Jersey city pier;"
When Pat would spy a pretty girl,
he'd whisper in her ear:
"Oh joy, Oh boy,
where do we go from here?"

One fine day, on Broadway,
Pat was driving fast,
When the street was blown to pieces
by a subway blast,
down the hole poor Paddy went,
a thinkin' of his past,
then he says, says he:
"I think these words will be my last..."

"Where do we go from here, boys,
where do we go from here?"
Paddy's neck was in the wreck,
but still he had no fear;
he saw a dead man next to him
and whispered in his ear:
"Oh joy, Oh boy,
where do we go from here?"

"Where do we go from here, boys,
where do we go from here?"
Paddy's neck was in the wreck,
but still he had no fear;
he saw a dead man next to him
and whispered in his ear:
"Oh joy, Oh boy,
where do we go from here?"

First of all, at the call,
when the war began,
Pat enlisted in the army
as a fighting man;
When the drills began,
they walked a hundred miles a day,
tho' the rest got tired,
Paddy always used to say:

"Where do we go from here, boys,
where do we go from here?
Slip a pill to Kaiser Bill
and make him shed a tear;
and when we see the enemy
we'll shoot them in the rear.
Oh joy, Oh boy,
where do we go from here?"

"Where do we go from here, boys,
where do we go from here?
Slip a pill to Kaiser Bill
and make him shed a tear;
and when we see the enemy
we'll shoot them in the rear.
Oh joy, Oh boy,
where do we go from here?"
