when johnny comes marching home again
  he's coming by bus or underground
  a woman's eye will shed a tear
  to see his face so beaten in fear
  an' it was just around the corner in the english civil war
    it was still at the stage of clubs and fists
  when that well-known face got beaten to bits
  your face was blue in the light of the screen
  as we watched the speech of an animal scream
  the new party army was marching right over our heads
    alright
    there you are, ha ha, i told you so
  says everybody that we know
  but who hid a radio under the stairs
  an' who got caught out on their unawares?
  when that new party army came marching right up the stairs
    when johnny comes marching home again
  nobody understands it can happen again
  the sun is shining an' the kids are shouting loud
  but you gotta know it's shining through a crack in the cloud
  and the shadows keep falling when johnny comes marching home
