1. Goodbye, New York town! Goodbye, Miss Liberty! Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea, Ev'ry soldier's sweetheart bidding goodbye, Ev'ry 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.
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 deeds and fame we cannot forget. Now that we have the chance, We'll pay our debt to France
CHORUS 2: 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 you we're fighting for. So goodbye, Broadway! Hello, France! We're going to help you win this war.
