Worth a million in one day.
Now comes our mighty blacksmith,
A powerful man is he;
Could Jar the Kaiser and his troops
Clear back in Germany.
What about our lightweight pugil-
ist-
Now bear this in your mind:
Could have cleaned up on Jack john
son,
But didn't know 1t at the time.
We all have left behind us
In the land where the coyote
stands,
Loved ones who will be waiting
Our return from the foreign lands.
As I said we aren't telling
All we'll do to Kaiser BILL"
But when he hears OF us arriving,
He'll start making out his will.
For he knows he's acted rotten,
Tried to rob us OF our right;
Now we're going to wreck his king
dom,
Blow him higher than a kite.
Yes, he'll wish the war was over,
For we'll make him rue the day,
That he failed to keep his promise,
Well not give him time to pray.
How about the Lusitania
That his U-boats doomed at sea-
Why that monster was a vessel
That more perfect could not be.
She had nine decks under water,
Also bear this in your mind:
A mate to the Mauretania,
The pride of the Cunard Line.
Now I'll call my story ended,
But you'll hear from your ole
chum
When all nations war is over
And old victory we have won
Then, it's back to South Dakota
To the rancho on the hill;
And we'll settle down forever
When we've beaten Kaiser bill.

BEFORE

A poor old granger and his wife
Stopped at the Inside Inn;
Their clothes were somewhat shabby
And their features somewhat thin.
He called the landlord to side,
Said he, Kind sir, consider,
We've travelled many weary miles
In most inclement weather,
From South Dakota's western plains
To this, your little city.
The sad repasts that all have served
Would fill the soul with pity.
We ask you, then, in mercy's name,
Bring forth thy pantry's richest hoard
Gather the viands of every cline,
Heap high for us the festive board
The landlords eyes were dim with
tears,
And, Fastening quickly to the rear,
A sumptuous repast prepared
Mic many a falling tear.
