Harry Marlow — When Tommy Comes Marching Home

[Intro] The girls were crying their eyes out when the Tommys went off to war But the girls will be all smiling when they see 'em come back once more They'll put out the flags and bunting when the ships come across the foam Oh, won't there be a "how-d'ya-do" when Tommy comes marching home! [Verse 1] When Tommy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah When Tommy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah You'll see the ladies Maud and Lou with boys in khaki, boys in blue But they'll never be short of a fag or two when Tommy comes marching home [Verse 2] When Johnny comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah When Johnny comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah We'll give 'em a cheer when they come back; our British bulldogs white and black With a jolly big cheer for sailor Jack when Johnny comes marching home [Verse 3] When Paddy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah When Paddy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah They'll all sing "Tipperary", what, the Redmond boys and Carsons lot And they damn better given them the Irish hot when Paddy comes marching home [Verse 4] When Taffy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah When Taffy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah By George they're sure to thank the faith when we carve up the German place He'll be up with the flag and down with the wraith when Taffy comes marching home [Verse 5] When Sandy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah When Sandy comes marching home again, och high, och high The Germans won't do any goosesteps then, the Scottish will cook their goose again They'll have had quite enough of the Highland men when Sandy comes marching home [Verse 6] When the Terriers all come home again, hoorah, hoorah When the Terriers all come home again, hoorah, hoorah We've been so long with them they'll bring, they'll deport the Kaiser Bill to sing Then mark the label "God Save The King" when the Terriers all come home [Verse 7] When Tommy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah When Tommy comes marching home again, hoorah, hoorah The Germans will have received a shock; that Kaiser of theirs will face a knock When the fat ones trust the ten that drop when Tommy comes marching home
