I'm anG American, boys, and I've come a long way C
I was Gborn and bred in the DUSA
So Emlisten up close, I've got Csomething to Gsay
Boys, I'm buying this Dround
Well it Gtook a little while, but we're in this Cfight
And we Gain't going home 'til we've Ddone what's right
We're Emgonna drink Camden Town Cdry tonGight
If I have to spend Dmy last Gpound
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' down in the London night
We made love 'til dawn
(chorus) But when CJohnny Come Lately comes Gmarching home
With a chest full of medals and a DG.I. loan
They'll be Emwaitin' at the station in CSan AnGtone
When Johnny comes Dmarching Ghome
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
repeat chorus
Now my granddaddy sang me this song
Told me about London when the blitz was on
How he married Grandma and brought her back home,
A hero throughout his land
Now I'm standin' 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
(repeat chorus 2x)
