rs vill pe done Since ve march into Belgium von day, But since den some beeg rifers have run Troo de pridges, I tink all de vay, Den already de tings seemed so blain, Ven ve shtart oudt to lick de whole vorld Ve vas sure dat us Shermans vould reign Shoost verefer our flag vas unfurled. For to see dat some tings can't pe done All dose Junker man's heads vas too tick, Und, inshtead of a blace in de sun, Ve haf got, vot you call, armyshtick. Vot dot armyshtick baper's aboudt I can't get troo dis headpiece of mine But dose fellers dot von wrote it oudt, Und us fellers dat lost had to sign. Shoost so soon vas dat Armyshtick made Den dose allies dey run de whole show, For already deir plans vas all laid Ven ve back into Shermany go.

For years of blood and tears, although We boast the Kaiser's overthrow, The net results seem these, I trow, That profiteers pile up the dough, And gather where they did not sow, That scythes of death fresh harvests mow, Where Bolshevists fierce whiskers grow, And no Hun yet has eaten crow; That Wild Sinn Feiners, fallen low, Plan proud Britannia's overthrow, Save these the world can little show, B
