I know they're gonna write to me
When they get across the sea
Every chance when that Washington lands in France (I say, whoa now, sugar baby)

Oh mama, don't you weep and moan
Uncle Sam's got your man and gone
Now they're doing that Lindberg 'cross the sea

When I had my uniform on
I could Lindy sure as you're born
Then I'd do that Lindy Bird with you (Oh babe, now I done told you)

Now mama, how can it be?
You went way across the sea
Just to keep from doing that Lindy Bird with me (riff)

I asked her for a bottle of beerola
She said, "Can I play the blues on your Victrola
Then I'll do that Lindy Bird with you" (I say, whoa now, sugar baby)

I asked her for a piece of banana
She said, "Can I play the blues on your piano
Then I'll do that Lindy Bird with you" (riff)
