It’s a long way to Berlin, but we’ll get there Uncle Sam will show the way, Over the line, then across the Rhine, Shouting Hip! Hip! Hooray! We’ll sing Yankee Doodle ‘Under the Linden’ With some real live Yankee Pep! (Hep!) It’s a long way to Berlin, but we’ll get there, and I’m on my way by heck. It’s a long way to Berlin, but we’ll get there! Words by Arthur Fields, music by Leon Flatow. Copyright 1917, by Leo Feist, Inc. The title of this song was probably suggested by the 1912 song
“It’s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary,” also very popular during the first
World War. Arthur Fields (1888-1953) and Leon Flatow (1889-1944)
were both composers and performers in vaudeville shows.
