Goodbye Broadway Hello France by American Quartet (Vocal Group) Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1917

[Verse 1]
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:

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
'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
[Chorus]
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

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
