There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the yanks go marchin’ in
I wanna be there boy,
And spread some joy
When they take old berlin
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the brooklyn boys begin
To take the joint apart
And tear it down
When they take old berlin
They’re gonna start a row
And show them how
We paint the town back, in kokomo
They’re gonna take a hike
Through hitler’s reich
And change his ’heil’ to ’what ya know, joe’
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the yanks go marchin’ in
You could never keep ’em happy down on the farm
After they take berlin
<instrumental interlude>
I’m gonna grab a frau
And show her how
We paint the town back, in michigan
I’m gonna take a hike
Through hitler’s reich
And change that ’heil’ to ’gimme some skin’
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the yanks go marchin’ in
You know that you could never keep ’em happy down on the farm
After they take berlin
