Old soldiers never die
Never die, never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away

(Old soldiers never die)
(Never die, never die)
(Old soldiers never die)
(They just fade away)

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile
While you´ve got a lucifer to light your fag
Smile, boys, that´s the style
What´s the use of worrying?
It never was worth while
(So)
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile!

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la

What´s the use of worrying?
It never was worth while
(So)
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile!

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
And the soldiers are marching on

John Brown’s body lies a moulding in the grave
John Brown’s body lies a moulding in the grave
John Brown’s body lies a moulding in the grave
But the soldiers are marching on

(Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!)
(Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!)
(Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!)
(And the soldiers are marching on)

She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
(When she comes)
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
(When she comes)
She'll be coming 'round the mountain, coming 'round the mountain
Coming 'round the mountain when she comes

Singing ay ay yippie yippie ay
(Yippie ay)
Singing ay ay yippie yippie ay
(Yippie ay)
Singing ay ay yippie, ay ay yippie
Ay ay yippie, yippie ay

Marching along together
Singing all along the line
What do we care for weather
We'll be there in rain or shine

Ready for war or kisses
Ready to love for fine
The road is long, when we cheer a song
We lighten every mile
We packed our troubles in our kit bags
And that is while we smile

Marching along together
Everyday is a side by side
