When the Lusitania went down.
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier.
Let's all be Americans now.
Hello, Central! give me No Man's Land.
There's a vacant chair in every home tonight.
I've got my captain working for me now.
My dream of the big parade.
He's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart.
We did it before and we can do it again.
I left my heart at the stage door canteen.
Goodbye, mama (I'm off to Yokohama)
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
