Lyrics
  • Where Do We Go From Here? Verse: Paddy Mack drove a hack up and down Broadway, Pat had one expression and he’d use it ev’ry day
  • Anytime he’d grab a fare, to take them for a ride, Paddy jumped upon the seat, cracked his whip and cried: Refrain: 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? Verse: 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: Refrain: 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? Verse: First of all, at the call, when the war began, Pat enlisted in the army as a fighting man
