Lyrics

1. Paddy Mack drove a hack
   Up and down Broadway
   Pat had one expression
   And he’d use it every day
   Any time he’d grab a fare
   To take them for a ride
   Paddy jumped upon the seat
   Cracked his whip and cried

Chorus
“Where do we go from here, boys
Where do we go from here?
Anywhere from Harlem
To a Jersey City pier”
When Pat would spy a pretty girl
He’d whisper in her ear
“Oh joy, Oh boy
Where do we go from here?”

2. One fine day on Broadway
   Pat was driving fast
   When the street was blown to pieces
   By a subway blast
   Down the hole poor Paddy went
   A thinkin’ of his past
   Then he says, says he
   I think these words will be my last

Chorus
“Where do we go from here, boys
Where do go from here?
Paddy’s neck was in the wreck
But still he had nor fear
He saw a dead man next to him
And whispered in his ear
“Oh joy, Oh boy
Where do we go from here?”

3. First of all, at the call
   When the war began
   Pat enlisted in the army
   As a fighting man
   When the drills began
   They’d walk a hundred miles a day
   Tho’ the rest got tired
   Paddy always used to say

Chorus
“Where do we go from here, boys
Where do we go from here?
Slip a pill to Kaiser Bill
And make him shed a tear
And when we see the enemy
We’ll shoot in the rear
Oh joy, Oh boy
Where do we go from here?”
