Song language: English
The Further It Is from Tipperary |
| The tommies in the trenches seem to have one favorite song |
| It’s a Long Way to Tipperary |
| It’s all you ever hear them singing as they march along |
| It’s a Long Way to Go |
| I got a map the other day and counted all the miles |
| I broke the news to Pershing and his face was full of smiles |
| For the further it is from Tipperary |
| The closer it is to Berlin |
| Who cares if Tipperary’s far away |
| The other Potsdam place is getting nearer every day |
| How I long to be back on the Bow’ry, the Bow’ry |
| But we’ll stick over here until we win |
| For the further it is from Tipperary |
| Why, the closer it is to Berlin |
| The only song they sing on any Red Cross ship or train |
| It’s a Long Way to Tipperary |
| I’ll bet the angels up above have heard that old refrain |
| It’s a Long Way to Go |
| The Germans know this song by heart but soon they let it slide |
| For every shell we send them has this message on the side |
| For the further it is from Tipperary |
| The closer it is to Berlin |
| Who cares if Tipperary’s far away |
| The other Potsdam place is getting nearer every day |
| How I long to back on the Bow’ry, the Bow’ry |
| But we’ll stick over here until we win |
| For the further it is from Tipperary |
| Why, the closer it is to Berlin |
| How I long to be back on the Bow’ry, the Bow’ry |
| But we’ll stick over here until we win |
| For the further it is from Tipperary |
| Why, the closer it is to Berlin |
