Over Here!: Over Here!

Lyrics

[DEPAULS] The bugle boy blew his rat-ta-tat-too Tellin' ev'rybody, "Do your duty" We didn't know how to type And we didn't know how to sew So we trucked it on down to the U.S.O But ev'rywhere they sent us We always missed the boat We never got a chance To sing the boys a single note Bombed out, rained out, matter of fact There's a rumour that We even caused a counterattack One day we got a communique "Report at once to thе U.S.A.!" So we packed and flew through Thе bullets and flak Gee but it's great to be back Now we'll be singin' for the fellas in the P.X. car Liftin' their morale by swingin' eight to the bar Truckin' and a Suzie Q'in' all-a the time Gonna keep 'em hummin' on the victory line Givin' our all, all for the guys You could say we're khaki wackies for the G.I.'s 'Cause over here (Toot toot-l-e toot) We'll do the thing that we started to do 'Cause over here (Toot toot-l-e toot) We're gonna sing for the red white and blue While the sergeant does the trainin' We'll do the entertainin' Over here — Toot, toot, toot-l-e toot Together — workin' on the team Together — gettin' up the steam Together — givin' our all On the beam and right on the ball! 'Cause over here (Toot toot-l-e toot) We'll do the thing that we started to do 'Cause over here (Toot toot-l-e toot) We're gonna sing for the red white and blue While the choo-choo keeps a-movin' We're gonna keep a-groovin' 'Cause over here — Toot, toot, toot-l-e toot Together — workin' on the team Together — gettin' up the steam Together — givin' our all Oh DePauls, you're right on the ball! We're gonna look alive and jam and jive [COMPANY, spoken] Over here [DEPAULS] Oh yea, yea, yea We're gonna spread some joy for ev'ry boy [COMPANY, spoken] Over here [DEPAULS] Oh yea, yea, yea While the sergeant does the trainin' [SARGE, spoken] Hup-tup-rib-bo-hup-tup-rib-bo We'll do the entertainin' (Do-do-do-do-do-do) [SARGE & COMPANY, spoken] Over here, over here, over here, over here, over here Over here, over here, over here, over here Over here, over here, over here, over here [PAULETTE, spoken] Cut! [DEPAULS] Toot, toot, toot-l-e toot!
