Lyrics
Home Coming Week in France Verse: Have you heard about the grand review to be held in gay Paree What you might call Old Home coming week for the sons of Liberty. All the races and ranks all the aces and tanks Will be back from the watch on the Rhine And in that parade of Democracy’s hosts here is what you will see in the line Refrain: There’s the grand old flag you’re a high flying flag. Hear that color’d ragtime band It’s a long long way to Tipperary That’s the music from the Strand. All the way from the streets of Cairo see those Arabs prance and dance It’s All for One and One for All At Old Home Coming week in France. Verse: Kiltie soldiers and the Hindu troops marching side by side you’ll see. Color won’t count It’s just what you are if you stand for Liberty. The commanders and aides of all climes and all shades Will be stepping to victory’s time And in that array of all nations and men here is what will be first in the line Refrain
