What's the scare
That's sent you up in the air?
WHAT'S showed a SILVER
Into your liver.
And turned it white
In a single night?
Are you afraid that Kaiser Bill

Those kruppttudinous guns Of his
And simply blow you out?
Or, do you fear
He'll soak you full of beer,
And when he's got YOU sOUsed he'll
come
and put Britannia on the bum?
Avn. Gee.
Wake up, j. B..
What do YOU care
If he tries to throw a scare
Right into your midst?
Haven't you got the stuff
To call mis- bluff
You may not want to fight,
But. BY lingo, If you do,
You've got the men.
And got the money, too
OF you can get it,
Which is just the same
In this little game.

To see YOU do the skeery
When Europe puts it up against the

Chews the rag of trepidation
Almost makes me want to swat yo-
