Lyrics | Over the Top Verse: See those Yankee Doodle soldiers on their way, Down the bay, Hip‐hooray! Ev’ry gallant heart is anxious for the fray, And they will welcome the day. Hear those voices shout, As boats pull out. Refrain: Over the top, When they see us coming, They’ll never stop. When we get them running, We’ll send them back. Bend them back to the Rhine, We’ll make a crack in that Hindenburg line. Those Yankee Doodle boys Will make a lot of noise. The old Red, White, and Blue, The Yankee Eagle, too. They’ll all be there, Doing their share, When we go over the top. Verse: Was he right? Not tonight! There’s a half a million, count them, left to right. And a few million in sight. Hip‐hooray! They’re off, Good luck, “Mozzeltoff.” Refrain: Over the top, When they see us coming, They’ll never stop. When we get them running, We’ll send them back. Bend them back to the Rhine, We’ll make a crack in that Hindenburg line. The fighting sixty‐nines Will break the german lines. They’ll hand the Kai |
