Lyrics
Goodbye, Old Khaki Lid Verse: Goodbye Marie with your “wee wee,” I’m going to leave you now. Goodbye dear cooties, through it all you’ve stuck to me somehow. I’m going to shed my khaki lid, I’ve thrown away my gun, And I’m on my way to old Broadway, to have a lot of fun: Refrain: So goodbye old khaki lid, the war is over, That’s what the Yankees did, when they went over. You’ve been a good old pal at that, but now I want a swell new hat. Goodbye old khaki lid, goodbye forever. So goodbye old khaki lid, the war is over, That’s what the Yankees did, when they went over. My girl will pin you to her wall, I guess you’re lucky after all. Goodbye old khaki lid, goodbye forever. Verse: Just get the bathtub ready please, and have a lot of soap. And bake a lot of homemade pies, I’ll be there soon I hope. And when I hit those clean white sheets, I’ll sleep a week or two, Just tell my girl to meet me at the dock, when we come through: Refrain: So goodbye old khaki lid, the war is over, That’s what the Yankees did, when they went over. We threw our hat into the ring, and now the deck is shy a king. Goodbye old khaki lid, goodbye forever.
