When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The gals dress up and they'll all turn out
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
He'll get three cheers from you and me,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Uncle Sam will prove he's still a champ
He'll close up shop and break up camp
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home
When Johnny comes marching home
