Tell That To The Marines (1918) |
| Do you remember, Kaiser Bill |
| About a year ago? |
| We told your old friend Bernstorff |
| That he better pack and go |
| You laughed and said |
| «America possessed no fighting stuff,» |
| Until our fighting Yankee boys |
| Walked in and called your bluff |
| That Monte Cristo idea will not do |
| If you think that the world belongs to you |
| Well, tell that to the Marines-- |
| Those deviling hounds who know what fighting means |
| You are going to lick the world-- you said you will-- |
| If you mean Uncle Sam, now listen Kaiser Bill: |
| Tell that to the Marines |
| The first to fight on all the fighting scenes |
| If you think you’ll sink our new boat |
| With your damned old u-boat |
| Tell that to the Marines |
| That line of Hindenburg’s would never break, you made a vow |
| It must be made of rubber, Bill |
| The way it’s bending now |
| The Krupp works that you bragged about |
| You rave of them no more |
| We’ll change them to the bankrupt works when we end up this war |
| So Kaiser Bill at warfare we are new |
| If you think now the Yankee drive is through |
| Well, tell that to the Marines |
| Those deviling hounds who know what fighting means |
| We are going to have six million men in line |
| Kaiser Bill, if you don’t think they will cross the Rhine |
| Tell that to the Marines |
| The first to fight on all the fighting scenes |
| If you think the Yanks won’t whirl-in |
| Right straight into Berlin |
| Tell that to the Marines |
