Goodbye mama I'm off to Yokohama For the red, white, and blue My country and you. Goodbye mama I'm off to Yokohama Just to teach all those Japs The Yanks are no saps A million fightin' sons-of-Uncle Sam, if you please Will soon have all those Japs right down on their Japa-knees So goodbye mama I'm off to Yokohama For my country, my flag, and you. Say Goodbye to mama. You're off to Yokohama. So be brave and be strong, You won't be gone long. Say bye-bye mama, The land of Yama-Yama, Until April, I guess, Will be your address. On Christmas Eve when dad and I are trimming the tree, You'll do your share of trimming out on land and on sea. Say goodbye to mama, You're off to Yokohama, For your country, your flag and me. Goodbye mama, I'm off to Yokohama For the red, white, and blue, My country and you. Goodbye mama, I'm off to Yokohama Just to teach all those Japs The Yanks are no saps. A million fightin' sons-of-Uncle Sam, if you please Will soon have all those Japs right down on their Japa-knees. Goodbye mama, I'm off to Yokohama, For my country, my flag, and you.
