    DescriptionSheet music is for "(There'll Be A) Hot Time In The Town Of Berlin (When The Yanks Go Marching In)." Music and lyrics by Sgt. Joe Bushkin with Pvt. John DeVries. Published by Barton Music Corporation of New York City, in 1943. The song was originally recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters on June 30, 1944 and reached number one on the top 100 U.S. songs of 1944.
    The song was introduced on Frank Sinatra's CBS radio show and became popular due to its patriotic lyrics, swinging rhythm, and its orchestral arrangement. It would later appear as war propaganda in the Warner Bros. short film, Road to Victory, where it was performed by Sinatra himself. The cover is in red ink with a picture of Frank Sinatra.
    The back cover has advertisement for sheet music.
