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 come back till it's over over
there. | |

hear nothing, he rattles me, comes nearer, in a momentary lull his voice reaches me:
‘Gas—Gaas—Gaaas—Pass it on.’
