Here We Are Again by F. Wheeler Lyrics

The poets, since the war began, have written lots of things
About our gallant soldier lads, which no-one ever sings
Although the words are very good, the lilt they seem to miss;
For Tommy likes a tricky song, the song that goes like this:

[Chorus]
Here we are! Here we are! Here we are again!
There's Pat and Mac and Tommy and Jack and Joe
When there's trouble brewing
When there's something doing
Are we downhearted?
No! Let 'em all come!
Here we are! Here we are! Here we are again!
We're fit and well, and feeling as right as rain
Never mind the weather
Now then, all together
Hullo! Hullo! Here we are again! Och!

When Tommy went across the sea to bear the battle's brunt
Of couse he sang this little song while marching to the front
And when he's walking through Berlin, he'll sing the anthem still
He'll shove a Woodbine on, and say, "How are you, Uncle Bill?"
[Chorus]
Here we are! Here we are! Here we are again!
There's Pat and Mac and Tommy and Jack and Joe
When there's trouble brewing
When there's something doing
Are we downhearted?
No! Let 'em all come!
Here we are! Here we are! Here we are again!
We're fit and well, and feeling as right as rain
Never mind the weather
Now then, all together
Hullo! Hullo! Here we are again! Och!

And when the boys have finished up with Hermann and with Max
And when the enemy's got it where the chicken got the axe
The girls will all be waiting, 'midst the cheering and the din
To hear their sweethearts singing, as the ship comes sailing in:

[Chorus]
Here we are! Here we are! Here we are again!
There's Pat and Mac and Tommy and Jack and Joe
When there's trouble brewing
When there's something doing
Are we downhearted?
No! Let 'em all come!
Here we are! Here we are! Here we are again!
We're fit and well, and feeling as right as rain
Never mind the weather
Now then, all together
Hullo! Hullo! Here we are again! Och!
