Yes they cheered our march
Through the Victory Arch
That they built for welcome home,
Md the mayor there
From his Civic chair"
Md the Gov. from the State House dome.
And somebody sung and somebody spoke
He talked long that | wished he'd chokeD
And everyone cheered lot.
We soused with coffee and cigarettes;
Oh yes, thought quite some pets,
And then-then they all forgot.
Now Yank is Yank and a Gobs Cob
But neither is much, when he needs job
1t was Bud" and Jack
And slap the back.
And Come to the old canteen"
4 bit of lark,
\ ride in the park.
And wasting OF gasoline.
But cheer dies and a smokes soon gone.
And speech isn't built to be lived upon
For more than week or So
And hero" and Savior" sound right nice
But 1t pretty much looks that they cut no ice
When your cash hand runs low
es, a 1ank is ank and a Gob's a Cob
And glory is good, but Job is Job!
