Gee! What a Wonderful Time We'll Have When the Boys Come Home

"Gee! What a Wonderful Time We'll Have When the Boys Come Home" is a World War I era song released in 1917. Lyrics and music were written by Mary Earl. The song was published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. of New York, New York. It was written for both voice and piano. The sheet music cover was designed by artist Albert Wilfred Barbelle. On the cover are soldiers marching down a city street. A skyline is behind them, and the lights spell out, "Welcome Home."

The song calls for a celebration when the soldiers return home from war. The chorus is as follows:
 * Gee! What a wonderful time we'll have
 * When the boys come home
 * The girls will be dressed in their Sunday best
 * When the boys come home
 * The flags will fly and the bands will play
 * We'll all turn out with a smile so gay
 * And ev'ry one shouting, "Hip Hip Hooray:
 * When the boys come home

The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
