Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun, 
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run, 
Hear them calling you and me; 
Every son of Liberty 
Hurry right away, no delay, go today, 
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad 
Tell your sweetheart not to pine, 
To be proud her boy's in line.

Johnnie get your gun, get you gun, get your gun, 
Johnnie show the Hun, you're a Son-of-a-Gun, 
Hoist the flag and let her fly 
Like true heros do or die 
Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit, 
Soldiers to the ranks from the towns and the tanks, 
Make your Mother proud of you and to Liberty be true.

Over There, 
Over There 
Send the word, send the word, 
Over There That the Yanks are coming, 
The Yanks are coming, 
The drums rum tumming everywhere 
So prepare, 
Say a Prayer 
Send the word, 
Send the word to beware 
We'll be over, we're coming over. 
And we won't be back till it's over over there!

Over There, 
Over There 
Send the word, send the word, 
Over There That the Yanks are coming, 
The Yanks are coming, 
The drums rum tumming everywhere 
So prepare, 
Say a Prayer 
Send the word, 
Send the word to beware 
We'll be over, we're coming over.
