Upon the land OF neighbors
They make hostile raid.
But now these fighting fellows,
Who many times have warred,
Are up against a struggle
That hits them good and hard;
For Britishers and Germans
Appear as allied foes,
Intent on forcing Castro
To pay them what he owes.
Confronted by such fighters.
In modes OF warfare schooled,
There's plenty OF excitement
Where Castro long has ruled.
There's fiery Indignation
Among. those used TO war.
While others. in a panic.
Are running fast and far.
There's trouble on the water
There's trouble on the land:
Our Uncle Sam they're hoping
VIII come and take a hand:
For though they've often worried
Him by their scraps and sights,
They say tits now his duty
To aid them In their fights.
They're chronic trouble kers.
Who frequently offend
And often there is danger
Ine troUEte Will extend.
But we're not feeling nervous,
For we'll we understand
That Uncle Sam Is watching,
And Dewey's near at hand
