Verse 1. GI'm an American, boys, and I've come a long Cway
I was Gborn and bred in the DUSA
So Emlisten up close, I've got Csomething to Gsay
Boys, I'm buying this Dround
Well it Gtook a little while, but we're in this Cfight
And we Gain't going home 'til we've done what's Dright
We're Emgonna drink Camden Town Cdry tonGight
If I have to spend Dmy last Gpound
Verse 2. GWhen I first got to London it was pourin' down Crain
GMet a little girl in the field Dcanteen
EmPainted her name on the Cnose of my Gplane
Six more missions I'm Dgone
Well I Gasked if I could stay and she said that I Cmight
Then the Gwarden came around yelling "turn out the Dlights"
EmDeath rainin' down in the CLondon Gnight
We made Dlove 'til Gdawn
Chorus. But when CJohnny Come Lately comes Gmarching home
With a chest full of medals and a DGI. loan
They'll be Emwaitin' at the station in CSan AnGtone
When Johnny comes Dmarching Ghome
Verse 3. GMy P-47 is a pretty good Cship
GAnd she took a round comin' 'cross the channel last Dtrip
EmI was thinkin' 'bout my baby and Cletting her Grip
Always got me through so Dfar
Well they can Gship me all over this great big Cworld
But I'll Gnever find nothing like my North End Dgirl
EmI'm taking her home with me Cone day, Gsir,
Soon as we Dwin this Gwar
Chorus. But when CJohnny Come Lately comes Gmarching home
With a chest full of medals and a DGI. loan
They'll be Emwaitin' at the station in CSan AnGtone
When Johnny comes Dmarching Ghome
Verse 4. GNow my granddaddy sang me this Csong
GTold me about London when the blitz was Don
EmHow he married Grandma and Cbrought her back Ghome,
A hero throughout his Dland
Now I'm Gstandin' on a runway in San DieCgo
A Gcouple purple hearts and I move a little Dslow
EmThere's nobody here, maybe Cnobody Gknows
About a place called DViet - Gnam
Chorus. (2x)
But when CJohnny Come Lately comes Gmarching home
With a chest full of medals and a DGI. loan
They'll be Emwaitin' at the station in CSan AnGtone
When Johnny comes Dmarching Ghome
