Lyrics:
While you are sleeping, Your France is weeping
Wake from your dreams, Maid of France.
Her heart is bleeding; Are you unheeding?
Come with the flame in your glance;
Through the Gates of Heaven, with your sword in hand,
Come your legions to command.
Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc,
Do your eyes, from the skies, see the foe?
Don't you see the drooping Fleur-de-lis?
Can't you hear the tears of Normandy?
Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc,
Let your spirit guide us through;
Come lead your France to victory;
Joan of Arc, they are calling you.
Alcace is sighing, Lorraine is crying,
Their mother, France, looks to you.
Her sons at Verdun; Bearing the burden,
Pray for your coming anew;
At the Gates of Heaven, do they bar your way?
Souls that passed through yesterday.
Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc,
Do your eyes, from the skies, see the foe?
Don't you see the drooping Fleur-de-lis?
Can't you hear the tears of Normandy?
Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc,
Let your spirit guide us through;
Come lead your France to victory;
Joan of Arc, they are calling you.
[Verse 1]
O, Eng-land's full of Eng-lish-men
And France is full of French,
And It-a-ly has sons e-nough
To fill up ev-'ry trench;
But what are we a-cross the sea
Who come from all the earth
To the land that gives us free-dom,Though it did not give us birth?
O, we are all A-mer-i-cans,
And when we come a-way
From Eng-land, France and It-a-ly,
We swore we came to stay.

[Verse 1]
Why are you looking so sad sweetheart,
Your heart is breaking it seems,
It's mighty hard you and I must part,
We only know what it means,
I long for a smile from you,
Although you are sad and blue.
[Chorus]
Don't cry little girl, don't cry,
Don't sigh, little girl, don't sigh,
Remember a smile,
Is always worthwhile,
When one comes to say "goodbye,"
Some day when your dreams come true,
They'll bring happy thoughts to you.
Your tears as they fall,
Hurt my heart most of all,
Please don't cry, little girl, don't cry.
[Verse 2]
Lift up your eyes and you'll see my dear,
I've saved a smile just for you,
I thought I'd wear it to say "goodbye,"
To one who has been so true,
Remember that tears are vain,
For we two shall meet again.
[Chorus]

K-K-K-Katy
Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold,
Katy was a maid with hair of gold,
Like an act of fate,
Kate was standing at the gate,
Watching all the boys while on
parade.
Kate smiled, with a twinkle in her
eye,
Jim said, m-m-m-meet ya by and by.
That night at eight,
Jim was at the garden gate,
Stuttering this song to K-K-K-Kate.
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I
adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the c-c-c-cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen
door.

Second Verse
They walked along the boule boulevard, He
whispered
"You for me, Some day in gay Paree I will make you
marry me", Just then a bunch of bully bully boys,
Threw kisses on the sly, Marie got wise when they
rolled
their eyes, They sang as they passed her by.
