Sheet Music Lyrics

Good-bye Broadway, Hello France!
Words: C. Francis Reisner, Benny Davis
Music: Baskette, Billy
     
1. 
Good-bye New-York town, good-bye Miss Liberty,
Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea,
Ev'ry soldier's sweetheart bidding good-bye
Ev'ry soldier's mother drying her eye,
Cheer up we'll soon be there,
Singing this Yankee air:

2. 
Vive Pershing is the cry across the sea,
We're united in this fight for liberty,
France sent us a soldier, brave La Fayette,
Whose deeds and fame we cannot forget,
Now that we have the chance
We'll pay our debt to France

Refrain:
Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Good-bye sweethearts, wives and mothers,
It won't take us long,
Don't you worry while we're there
It's for you we're fighting too,
So Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,
We're going to square our debt to you.

(ad lib.)
Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Good-bye sweethearts, wives and mothers,
It won't take us long,
Don't you worry while we're there
It's you we're fighting for,
So Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,
We're going to help you win this waar
