The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Verse:]
Johnny Doughboy overseas filled with pride and joy
Stopping everyone he meets and shouting "It's a boy"
[Refrain:]
What does he look like, that boy of mine?
Since the news came I can't get him off my mind
Does he resemble his homely dad?
Does he look like the girl that I left behind?
Bring on the Germans and bring on the Japs
Bring on the first who you can find
One for the rascal I haven't seen
And one for the girl that I left behind
