Oh, bark ye, Yankee soldiers, from
far across the sea
Comes the news that Turkeys fight

nance;
That she faced the "Bull-eon" allies
single ha nded and alone.
With n simple faith in Allah and our
Deified Won Bohne.
And they say that on the morning
that the mighty battle broke.
That Geruaan-tutored army vanished
ia a whirl of smc Ike;
THAT ,their swords we're al! aHslsii4esi
and their gums were all for
got,
As they sought the dim horizon
in hasty Turkey Trot.

foe a glance,
Then rolled cigarette and scratched
a match upon his pants;
And sTake unto his eunners. Let EN-
have a few more jolts-
That is. If your shells can catch EN-
They've been trained by Won

A colonel Of Rulgar!ans then tossed

And yelled, Come on, me hearties.

For the sacred Scripture tells as;

So We lift our hats to Won Der Go'tz,

The Dove of Peace is cooling IN the

For, you bet, the foreign powers viii
leave Uncle Sam alone,
While our highbr0ws down at
Leavensworth are studying Won

And while the German eagle scars
above the Balkan storm.
1t strikes us fitting time to change
the uniform.
Lets get one of those shiny things
they wear across the breast,
And add a cleaning helmet with an
eagle on the crest,
And down at sunny Leavenworth let
Dutch professors rule;
And build model hrewery-an an

A marble bust of Won Der Goltz re-
splendent in the hall,
And photogra phs of Kaiser Bill
