Lyr. Add: OH! WHAT A TIME FOR THE GIRLIES
       (When the Boys Come Marching Home)
Words by Sam M. Lewis & Joe Young, Music by Harry Ruby

1
Why are all the girlies feeling great?
Something's in the air;
They don't even want to make a date,
With a poor old millionaire;
They're fixing up the morris chair,
And pulling down the blind;
Soon there'll be somebody there,
And here's what's on their minds:

Chorus-
Oh what a time, what a time,
for the girlies when the boys come marching home,
They'll get the kissing that they've been missing,
While they were over the foam;
Mary and Jane will explain to her soldier
How she spent her nights alone;

Think of all the loving they will get,
Two long years they've been without a pet;
Every "Cutie" waiting at the pier,
Wants to do her duty over here;
When a soldier squeezes you too hard,
Raise your hand and holler "Kamerad;"
Oh what a time for the girlies
when the boys come marching home

2
Have you noticed any girlie, who,
Has a boy in France?
She was always feeling sad and blue,
You could tell it at a glance;
But now upon her face you'll see,
A look of joy and pride;
It's because she knows that he,
Will soon be by her side:

Chorus-
