Lyrics
- On old Broadway, on old Broadway
We’ll have a peace jubilee
The gladness of victory prevails ev’rywhere
To welcome our heroes we must prepare
He said he’d return when his duty was done
The last battle fought and the war of wars won
Chorus
O that Doughboy was full of go, boy
Give him all the fun you can
It was he who backed Old Glory
For his dear old Uncle Sam
Join that peace jubilee
On old Broadway
Shake your troubles, put your clothes on
And make the boys feel gay
Never let it be forgotten
That it was U. S. A.
- He used no trench nor camouflage
But staid on top till the Hun was shot
The Allies said we were slow
But they changed their tune
When we got on the go you’re right
For it was the Sammies
That made Fritz so bleary
And saved Paris at Chauthierry
