Johnny's Got a Date With a Gal in New York

Performed by Kate Smith
Recorded June 1, 1945
Written by Kaye, Medoff

Johnny's got a date with a gal in New York
He can't hardly wait to get back to New York
On the day he sailed away, he promised to be true
And in her own way she seemed to say,
Goodbye Johnny, I'll wait for you
Now in every dream he can still see her there
And he says her name in every prayer
He knows she carries the torch for him
Though he's far across the sea
Yes Johnny's got a date with a gal
Oh Johnny's got a date with a gal
Called "Miss Liberty"
