A NEW YANKEE DOODLE.

The following poem, to be sung to
the tune of Yankee Doodle, was
written by Edwin Curtis, son of Mr..
Edwin is high school boy, and is
devoting part of his time to writing
patriotic poems.
(To the tune of Yankee Doodle)
The Kaiser said I'll whip the Yanks,
feel my duty calling;
And now I've caught them unpre-
pared,
Their going to get hauling;
Then Uncle sent the Kaiser word,
You better not begin it.;
For when you whip the Yankee boys,
There'll be no Germans in it.
Chorus.
And now that we've got in this fight,
Uncle Sam is getting wiser;
He's calling in the Yankee boys,
To 60 and get the Kaiser.
The boys they sailed across the sea,
In perfect soldier order;
And when they reach the battle line,
They'll cross the German border.
Chorus.
And now they've reached the battle
line,
They're going right straight
through it; -
They're going to show the Kaiser
Bill,
Just how the Yankees do it.
He got to feeling rather gay,
And acting kind of cranky;
But when he steps on Uncle Sam,
He's got to whip the Yankees.
Chorus.
The Kaiser thought he'd whip the
world,
And started in to do it;
But now he's got too big a bite,
And hasn't teeth to chew it.
He came out with an awful boo,
To make the Yankees fear him;
But they just pushed the Germans
back,
And played they did not hear him.
Chorus.
The Kaiser's feet began to slip,
The Yanks will keep them slipping.
And now they're going to show him
how,
The Yankees take their whipping.
Chorus: after each verse)
Soon the Kaiser will get sick,
When the Yankees find him;
They'll hang him to the tallest tree,
With Hindenburg behind him.
