Lyrics
Remember the Girl in Your Old Home Town Verse: Yank over there you should always beware of the girlie from gay Paree You are making a hit and they’ll snare you I’ll bet if you don’t watch your Q’s and P’s Before you fall there’s one girl above all a girl that you should not turn down A girly you met through far away can’t forget it’s a girl in your old home town Refrain: Remember the girl in your old home town the one that you left behind There’s no one so true no other will do she’s for you all of the time She thinks of you daily and wishes you well her boy in the army brown Remember I say where e’er you stray the girl in your old home town Verse: Her love is true and no other will do you’re the only one she can see And with heart that’s true blue she is waiting for you ever trusting your loyalty Here’s to the Yanks from the towns and the tanks who fought autocracy down Remember I say as you live through each day the girl in your old home town Refrain
