The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen. Performed by Dariana Mullen.

GILDA GRAY:
No no no they called
Your name say that it ain’t so
Your face is brave but baby
I hate to see you go
So, before you break
Your boots in marching overseas
Come on over soldier break
Your boots in here with me

Let your lips go la dee dah dee dah
As my hips go la dee dah dee doo
A little revelry before the reveille
On our last night rendezvous
I wanna la dee dah dee dah with you

Tighten up your laces as you
March into the war
Let my face and our embrace be
What you’re fighting for

Oh, go on show them dough boy,
Time to hunt the hun
Know boy I’ll be holding on
Until your work is done

(Gatsby reappears wearing a WWI officer’s uniform.
Soldiers fall into formation and dance with him.)

Let your lips go la dee dah dee dah
As my hips go la dee dah dee doo
A little revelry before the reveille
On our last night rendezvous
Let your lips go la dee dah
As my hips go la dee doo

ALL:
I wanna la dee dah dee dah with you

(The Sugars reappear in tap shoes.
Dance break.)

GILDA & HALF THE ENSEMBLE:
I wanna la dee dah

GILDA & OTHER HALF:
I wanna la dee doo

ALL:
I wanna la dee dah dee dah with you
