Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When Johnny come marchin' home again
Hoorah, trala
He's comin' by bus or underground
Hoorah, trala
A woman's eye will shed a tear
To see his face so beaten in fear
It was just around the corner in the English Civil War
[Verse 2]
It was still at the stage of clubs and fists
Hoorah, trala
When that well known face got beaten to bits
Hoorah, trala
Your face was blue in the light of the screen
As we watched the speech of an animal scream
New Party army was marchin' right over our heads
[Verse 3]
Alright
[Verse 4]
There you are, ha ha, I told you so
Trala, hoorah
Says everybody that we know
Hoorah, trala
But who hid a radio under the stairs?
And who got caught out unawares?
New Party army came marchin' right up the stairs
[Verse 5]
When Johnny comes marchin' home again
Hoorah, trala
Nobody understands it can happen again
Hoorah, trala
The sun is shinin' and the kids are shoutin' loud
You gotta know it's shinin' through a crack in the cloud
And the shadows keep fallin' when Johnny comes marchin' home
[Verse 6]
Alright
Johnny
Oh, yeah
Johnny
Johnny's comin' home
