Goodbye France

Irving Berlin

    [1st verse:]
    I can picture the boys "over there"
    Making plenty of noise "over there"
    And if I'm not wrong
    It won't be long
    Ere a certain song will fill the air
    It's all very clear
    The time's drawing near
    When they'll be marching down to the pier, singing:

    [Refrain:]
    Goodbye France
    We'd love to linger longer but we must go home
    Folks are waiting to welcome us across the foam
    We were glad to stand side by side with you
    Mighty proud to have died with you
    So goodbye France
    You'll never be forgotten by the U.S.A.

    [2nd verse:]
    They are waiting for one happy day
    When the word comes to start on their way
    With a tear-dimmed eye
    They'll say goodbye
    But their hearts will cry, Hip-hip hooray
    The friends that they made
    Will wish that they stayed
    As they start on their homeward parade, singing:
