Letra de The Further It Is from Tipperary

The tommies in the trenches seem to have one favorite song
It's a Long Way to Tipperary
It’s all you ever hear them singing as they march along
It's a Long Way to Go
I got a map the other day and counted all the miles
I broke the news to Pershing and his face was full of smiles
For the further it is from Tipperary
The closer it is to Berlin
Who cares if Tipperary's far away
The other Potsdam place is getting nearer every day
How I long to be back on the Bow’ry, the Bow'ry
But we'll stick over here until we win
For the further it is from Tipperary
Why, the closer it is to Berlin
The only song they sing on any Red Cross ship or train
It's a Long Way to Tipperary
I'll bet the angels up above have heard that old refrain
It's a Long Way to Go
The Germans know this song by heart but soon they let it slide
For every shell we send them has this message on the side
For the further it is from Tipperary
The closer it is to Berlin
Who cares if Tipperary's far away
The other Potsdam place is getting nearer every day
How I long to back on the Bow'ry, the Bow’ry
But we’ll stick over here until we win
For the further it is from Tipperary
Why, the closer it is to Berlin
How I long to be back on the Bow'ry, the Bow’ry
But we'll stick over here until we win
For the further it is from Tipperary
Why, the closer it is to Berlin
