Passing Show: Goodbye Broadway, Hello France
Goodbye New York town, goodbye Miss Liberty,
Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea,
Every soldier's sweetheart bidding goodbye,
Every soldier's mother drying her eye.
Cheer up we'll soon be there,
Singing this Yankee air:
Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Goodbye 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 Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're going to square our debt to you.
'Vive Pershing' is the cry across the sea.
We're united in this fight for liberty.
France sent us a soldier, brave Lafayette
Whose great deeds and fame we cannot forget.
Now that we have the chance,
We'll pay our debt to France.
Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea,
Every soldier's sweetheart bidding goodbye,
Every soldier's mother drying her eye.
Cheer up we'll soon be there,
Singing this Yankee air:
Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Goodbye 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 Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're going to square our debt to you.
'Vive Pershing' is the cry across the sea.
We're united in this fight for liberty.
France sent us a soldier, brave Lafayette
Whose great deeds and fame we cannot forget.
Now that we have the chance,
We'll pay our debt to France.
