Lyrics
- Comrades and brothers, our loved ones and others
Have left us to join in the fight
Millions of others, their sweethearts and mothers
Are proud that they fight for the right
In ev’ry home in our nation
This is the prayer ev’ry night, Oh
Chorus
Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack
Hurry back, hurry back
Be quick, do the trick, get it over
Then don’t even stop to pack
The tears that we’ve shed make an ocean
Home without you seems just like an empty shack
So Tom, Dick and Harry and Jack
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back
2. We have a new love, a red, white and blue love
For all of our boys ove there
They have a true love, a real die or do love
For home they will all do their share
In ev’ry heart there’s a longing
In ev’ry home there’s a prayer, Oh
