There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin When the Yanks go marching in I wanna be there boy and spread some joy When they take old Berlin There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin When the Brooklyn boys begin To take the joint apart and tear it down When they take old Berlin They're gonna start a row and show them how We paint the town back in Kokomo They're gonna take a hike through Hitler's Reich, And change the "Heil" to "Whatcha-know-Joe" There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin When the Yanks go marching in You could never keep `em happy down on the farm After they take Berlin. There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin When the Yanks go marching in Oh what a Jubilee there's gonna be When they take old Berlin There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin When the Brooklyn boys begin To take the joint apart and tear it down When they take old Berlin They're gonna start a row and show them how We paint the town back in Michigan They're gonna take a hike through Hitler's Reich, And change the "Heil" to "Gimme some skin" There'll be a hot time in the town of Berlin When the Yanks go marching in You could never keep `em happy down on the farm After they take Berlin.
