So Long 'It's Been Good To Know Yuh' |
| I got the news that the war had begun |
| It was straight for the Army Hall that I run |
| And all of the people in my home town |
| Was a running up and a running down |
| Singing: |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won |
| And we’ll get back together again. |
| The crowd was packed by the railroad track |
| People was yelling and patting my back |
| And while the engineer rung his bell |
| I hugged all the mothers and kissed all the gals, |
| Singing: |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won |
| And we’ll get back together again |
| I got to the camp and I learnt how to fight |
| Fascists in daytime, mosquitoes at night |
| I got my orders to cross o’er the sea |
| So I waved «goodbye"to the girls I could see, |
| Singing: |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won |
| And we’ll get back together again |
| I got on a boat and I started to float |
| My old pack-sack and my big wool coat |
| With ten thousand men we rode the foam |
| And sung this song to the people back home: |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won |
| And we’ll get back together again |
| I landed somewhere on a fighting shore |
| With ten million soldiers and ten million more |
| And while we were chasing that Super Race |
| We sung this song in the chase. |
| It was: |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won |
| And we’ll get back together again |
| So it won’t be long till the fascists are gone |
| And all of their likes are finished and done |
| We’ll throw the clods of dirt in their face |
| And walk away from that lonesome place |
| Singing: |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| So long, it’s been good to know you |
| There’s a mighty big war that’s got to be won |
| And we’ll get back together again |
