m, we'll make the lobster sing
As we ride him into Berlin on a rail!
CHORUS.
Oh, machine guns, machine guns!
They're the things to rake the Kaiser aft and fore!
May they never jam on us
Till we've gone and won this gosh-darn war!
Oh, machine guns are the handy things to drive the Fritzy out
When he hides back of bags of sand;
And machine guns are the dandy things to put the Hun to rout
If he tries to regain his land.
So just keep the clips a-comin', and we'll give her all the juice
As we speed along our glorious way:
And Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff will beat it like the deuce
When the little old rat-rattlers start to play!
CHORUS.
Oh, machine guns, machine guns!
They're the things to rake the Kaiser aft and fore!
May they never jam on us
Till we've gone and won this gosh-darn war!

Scene: An A.E.F. cookshack, during sanitary inspection.
Enter, to the cook standing at attention, one major, U.S.M.C.,
accompanied by one major, British Army Medical Corps.
U.S. Major: "Well cook, how's everything going?"
Cook: "Rotten, sir; men are either all sick or away on D.S., and there's
only the mess sergeant and myself to look out for things. You can't get
along without K.P.'s."
U.S. Major (to his British friend): "Major, you told me you knew a good
deal of American Army slang; what would you say our friend the cook
meant by 'K.P.'s'?"
British Major: "K.P.'s? Why, ah-er, I should say that cook was
undoubtedly referring to the Knights of Pythias!"
