The girls were crying that I'd die when The Tommy's went off to war
But the girls were all but smiling when they see'em come back once more
They'll put out the flags for something when the ships come accross of home
Oh what to be a halliard too... when Tommy comes marching home.

When Tommy comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
When Tommy comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
You'll see the ladies Maud and Lou with poise and corky boys in blue
But they'll never be told of a thankful two when Tommy comes marching home.

When Johnny comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
When Johnny comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
We'll give'em a cheer when they come back our British bulldogs white and black
With a jolly big cheer when they get back When Johnny comes marching home.

When Patty comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
When Patty comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
They'd all sing jibber rarely what the Redmond boys and carpened block
And they damn better given them mores shots when Patty comes marching home.

When Patty comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
When Patty comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah

Boy George they're sure to thank the faith when we carve up the German place
It'll pay up with the flag and down with the wraith when Patty comes marching home.

When Santi comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
When Santi comes marching home again, On high, on high
The Germans won't do any good plus then the Scottish will cook their goose again
When the pen by the knots on the highland bend when Santi comes marching home.

When the Terriers all comes home again, Hoorah hoorah
When the Terriers all comes home again, Hoorah hoorah
Wheat feed the long with them they'll bring they deport the kind of bills that sing
The mark the laden got put in the King when the Terriers all come home.

When Tommy comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
When Tommy comes marching home again, Hoorah hoorah
The German's will have received a shock that Kyser of theirs will waste a knock
When the fat ones trust the ten that drop when Tommy comes marching home.
