You ^Fcan't just kiss and ^Crun away There ^Ebain't enough money on a ^Bbsergeant's pay When the ^D/Adance hall girl you ^Am7banged's in the family ^Dway

You turned my sister into a whore With a pair of silk stockings from the P.X. store Why don't you leave use alone Yankee Go Home My girlfriend won't talk to me Since she met with a sailor from the land of the free I'm tired of being alone Yankee Go Home I've lost count of the chewing gum that I've had And vodka-cola make my teeth go bad We'll handle this on our own Yankee Go Home Dow Jones going into a stall Spray paint saying it on every wall The climb was fine, now it's time to decline and fall Overpaid, oversexed and over here get smart, gringo, disappear The Hun's at the gates of Rome Yankee Go Home
