Irving Berlin - They Were All Out of Step But Jim lyrics

[1st verse] Jimmy's mother went to see her son Marching along on parade In his uniform and with his gun What a lovely picture he made She came home that ev'ning Filled up with delight And to all the neighbors She would yell with all her might [Refrain] Did you see my little Jimmy marching With the soldiers up the avenue? There was Jimmy just as stiff as starch Like his Daddy on the seventeenth of March Did you notice all the lovely ladies Casting their eyes on him? Away he went To live in a tent Over in France with his regiment Were you there, and tell me, did you notice? They were all out of step but Jim [2nd verse] That night little Jimmy's father stood Buying the drinks for the crowd You could tell that he was feeling good He was talking terribly loud Twenty times he treated My! but he was dry When his gla** was empty He would treat again and cry [Alternate Lines In 2nd refrain] It made me glad To gaze at the lad Lord help the Kaiser if he's like his Dad
