I'm an American, boys, and I've come a long way, Born and bred in the USA So listen up close, I've got something to say Boys, I'm buying this round Well it took a little while, but we're in this fight And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right We're gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight, If I have to spend my last pound
When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain Met a little girl in the field canteen Painted her name on the nose of my plane Six more missions, I'm gone Well I asked if I could stay and she said that I might Then the warden came around yelling "Turn out the lights" Death rainin' out of the London night We made love 'til dawn
[Chorus:] But when Johnny Come Lately comes marching home With a chest full of medals and a G.I. loan They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone When Johnny comes marching home
My P-47 is a pretty good ship And she took a round comin' cross the channel last trip I was thinkin' 'bout my baby and letting her rip Always got me through so far Well they can ship me all over this great big world But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl I'm taking her home with me one day, sir Soon as we win this war
[Chorus]
Now my grandaddy sang this song Told me about London when the Blitz was on How he married grandma and brought her back home A hero thoughout his land Now I'm standing on a runway in San Diego A couple Purple Hearts and I move a little slow There's nobody here, maybe nobody knows About a place called Vietnam
