| Lyrics | Over There Verse: Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun. Take it on the run, on the run, on the run. Hear them calling you and me, Ev’ry son of liberty. Hurry right away, no delay, go today, Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy’s in line. Refrain: Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there That the Yanks are coming The drums are rum‐tum‐tumming ev’rywhere. So prepare, say a pray’r, Send the word, send the word, to beware. We’ll be over, we’re coming over, And we won’t come back till it’s over, over there! Verse: Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun. Johnnie show the Hun you’re a son of a gun. Hoist the flag and let her fly, Yankee Doodle do or die. Pack you lit kit, show your grit, do your bit. Yankees to the ranks from the towns and the tanks. Make your mother proud of you And the old Red, White, and Blue. Refrain |
