Estrofe
Johnnie , get your gun
Get your gun , get your gun
Take it on the run
On the run , on the run
Hear them calling , you and me
Every son of liberty
Hurry right away
No delay , go today
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud her boy's in line

Refrão
Over there , over there
Send the word , send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum - tumming
Everywhere
So prepare , say a prayer
Send the word , send the word to beware
We'll be over , we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there

Johnnie , get your gun
Get your gun , get your gun
Johnnie show the Hun
Who's a son of a gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Yankee Doodle c or die
Pack your little kit
Show your grit , c your bit
Yankee to the ranks
From the towns and the tanks
Make your mother proud of you
And the old Red , White and Blue
