释义 |
"Hey Yvette/The Grass Grows Green" is a combination of two conjoined songs from the musical Over Here!, which opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre (Broadway) on March 6, 1974. The song was written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman. It begins and ends with "Hey Yvette" with "The Grass Grows Green" sandwiched in the middle. The song is sung by "Spokesman", "Rankin" and "Father" who symbolically represent the veterans of the last war, in this case World War I. In the song they sing fondly about a "good time girl" named Yvette whom they met in France during the war. Suddenly and poignantly they recall all the other infantrymen who died in "no man's land". Oh The Grass Grows Green in no man's land O'er the buddies that we knew If you get the chance Would you say hello From us dough boys who came through Oh The Grass Grows Green in no man's land O'er the loved ones we held dear If you get the chance, would you say, "hello" From their buddies Over Here....}} External links
