Lyrics | Gee! What a Wonderful Time We’ll Have When the Boys Come Home Verse: The East, the West have days they love best And so have the South and the North, A certain date they all celebrate And that is the glorious Fourth. But there is a day soon to come, When America’ll make things hum: Refrain: Gee! What a wonderful time we’ll have When the boys come home. The girls will be dressed in their Sunday best, When the boys come home. The flags will fly and the bands will play, We’ll all turn out with a smile so gay, And ev’ryone shouting “hip hip hooray!” When the boys come home. Verse: The sun will surely shine on that day To welcome our soldier boys home. As stiff as starch we’ll watch them all march Our heroes from over the foam. A welcome they’re going to get, That America won’t forget: Refrain |
