It's not hard to reach back to the day Underneath that Iowa sun Running to the tower of Waterloo Looking for the Sullivan train to come And his five boys would run to the top Salute him as he went by First we'd wave hello Then we'd wave goodbye
It's not hard to reach back to the days After the attack on Pearl And overnight my buddies turned into men Running out of time for games and girls And the Sullivan Boys were not over looked The very next day they left On a mystery train
So say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan Don't you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry We regret to inform you That the Navy is keeping your sons away All five, five, five, five So keep your blue star in the window
It's not hard to reach back to her smile When she received the letter In their letters they sounded generally the same They said they couldn't be home At least they were together On a mighty, fighting battleship Somewhere in the South Pacific No their letters never got more specific
So say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan Don't you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry We regret to inform you That the Navy is keeping your sons away All five, five, five, five So keep your blue star in the window
Its not hard to reach back to the day When the war finally came home Uncle Samuel sends you a telegram So he doesn't have to tell you over the phone I heard she cracked when they found out What a war had cost When all five of her boys were lost
Say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs.Sullivan Don't you cry Oh, go ahead and cry You see, we regret to inform you That your sons have passed away All five, five, five, five So change your blue star to gold Blue star to gold Change them to gold
