JOHNNY'S GOT A DATE WITH A GAL IN NEW YORK
(Buddy Kaye / Sam Medoff)


Kate Smith - Recorded June 1st 1945


 

Johnny's got a date with a gal in New York
He can't hardly wait to get back to New York
On the day he sailed away, he promised to be true
And in her own way she seemed to say
Goodbye Johnny, I'll wait for you

Now in every dream he can still see her there
And he says her name in every prayer
He knows she carries a torch for him
Though he's far across the sea
Yes, Johnny's got a date with a gal
Called Miss Liberty

(Orchestral Interlude))

Oh, Johnny's got a date with a gal in New York
He can't hardly wait to get back to New York
On the day he sailed away, he promised to be true
And in her own way she seemed to say
Goodbye Johnny, I'll wait for you

Now in every dream he can still see her there
And he says her name in every prayer
He knows she carries a torch for him
Though he's far across the sea
Yes, Johnny's got a date with a gal
Oh, Johnny's got a date with a gal
Called Miss Liberty
