Over There


by George M. Cohan

Over There
Over There
Send the word
Send the word
Over There
That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tuming everywhere.

Over There
Say a prayer
Send the word
Send the word
To beware.
It will be over
We’re coming over
And we won’t come back
Till it’s over
Over There.

Johnnie get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Back in town to run
Home to run, home to run
Hear them calling you and me
Every son of liberty
Hurry right away
Don’t delay go today
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud their boy’s in line.
