[Verse 1]
All the girls are lone-ly, Lone-ly ev'-ry where!
Va-cant co-sy cor-ners, No-thing do-ing there!
Nev-er mind, nev-er mind, Don't you wor-ry or sigh

Tho' your best boy's gone on the rat-a-plan;
He'll come back a Mil-i-ta-ry man
And he'll be the first to catch your eye
Nev-er mind, lit-tle gir-lie, nev-er mind!

[Chorus]
Save your kiss-es till the boys come home;
When the boys come home, They'll be ev'-ry-bo-dy's dar-ling!
You must say good-bye to the fel-lows dress'd in flan-nel,
Keep your love for the boys who are o-ver the Chan-nel Fight-ing,

They've all missed you for a long, long while,
And they're lone-ly o-ver the foam; So Girls,
save all your lit-tle kiss-es till the boys come home!

[Verse 2]
You can wait a-while, girls, Till the oys come back!
If he's Sol-dier Tom-my! If he's Sai-lor Jack!
Nev-er mind, nev-er mind, Oh! there's com-ing a day
When the bands will play and the flags will fly;

"Stay at-homes" will look and won-der
why You're proud of the boy who went a-way
Wear a smile, lit-tle gir-lie, just a while.

[Repeat Chorus]
