All:
When Johnny comes marchin' home again, hooray, hoorah.

Mary:
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast to happiness.
Long live our love.

When we were childhood sweethearts,
We had made a simple vow./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)
Vowed to love each other,
And I know we won't stop now./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)

All:
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast to happiness.
Long live our love.

Mary (sung):
Something's come between us.
And it's not another girl./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)
But a lot of people need you.
There is trouble in the world./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)

Mary (spoken over vocal stylings of backup singers):
It's the fighting that has come between us,
And' it's taken you far, far away.
But please, don't wonder if I'll be faithful,
You're in my heart both night and day.
So, darling, I send my love to you,
While you are fighting overseas.
And I know one day if we are lucky,
God will send you back to me.

All (sung):
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast glasses clink to happiness.
Long live our love.

Mary (spoken over "When Johnny comes marching home again, hooray, hoorah"):
Please, Lord, don't let anything happen to him, please.

All (sung):

Here's a toast to happiness.
Long live our love.

Fade.
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.

1Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss1a, formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."

1aBecause Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.
