Cheer Up Do not get sore because this war Has sent our boys across the sea. Think of the things we're fighting
 for
 And what it means to you and me. We'll do what we've set out to do, We will wipe out the filthy Hun, The Kaiser and. his dirty crew Are headed for oblivion.
 S Do not get sore because a mound In Flanders marks Yankees

 dwell; We'll wipe the Hun-beast off the map And Kultur's headed straight for
 Hell.
