Why come you rote, sweet athlete
Hurroo, hurroo
Why come you rote, sweet athlete
Hurroo, hurroo
Why come you rote, sweet athlete
Seeking the hand that's here on my eye?
I go for dance or I had pray
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy never slew ye
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
ย
Where are your ways that look so mild
Hurroo, hurroo
Where are your ways that look so mild
Hurroo, hurroo
Where are your ways that look so mild
When my heart is so beguiled?
Why did you run from me and my child?
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy never slew ye
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
ย
Where are your legs with which you run
Hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs with which you run
Hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs with which you run
When you went for to carry a gun?
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy never slew ye
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
ย
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg
Hurroo, hurroo
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg
Hurroo, hurroo
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg
You're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
You have to be put with the boat to bed
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy never slew ye
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
ย
I'm happy for to see you home
Hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see you home
Hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see you home
All from the island of Salome
So low in flesh, so high in bone
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy never slew ye
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
