Kaiser Bills Finish.
here was a German emperor,

There was a German emperor,
They called him Kaiser Bill.
He seemed to be contented,
When he could drown and kill.
He liked to drown the innocent babe,
It's mother and it's dad;
He sank the Lusitania
Which made the whole world sad.
Old Uncle Sam said "Here old boy,
You stop that mighty quick,
o. well whip you till ycur murder
Gus gang
Win be feeling kinda sick.
You've invaded little Belgium
And you've killed her soldier boys
You've murdered her women and
children
And you've tortured her otherwise
Old Kaiser Bill replied
With a saucy little note,
Said he to Uncle Sammie,
Were going to get your goat.
You have nothing but tin soldiers
Who really cannot fight;
If you should butt into this row
You wouldn't last Ger night.
Old Uncle Sam rolled up his sleeves
And said, "Old boy, we're mad.
We're going to stop this terrible war
And make the whole world glad. :
Old Uncle Sam called out his boys,
There were a mighty few,
Who refused to fight for right
And the old Red, White and Blue.
He started his big war machine,
He left no thing undone,
That would help in any way,
To defeat the murderous Hun.
Oh. everything ran along smoothly
Till one morn in early fall,
The Huns awoke to find themselves,
A facing a mighty wall.
The Kaiser sent another note,
Which really was politeA
Said he to Uncle Sammie,
I'VE ere ready to stop the fight.
Your little tinny soldiers
From away across de sea
Have frightened my liddle son Willie
And dey say dey are after me.
Ny grand and glorious army
With their breastplates on their
backs,
Have turned around to run
And have hit the homeward tracks.
We surely were mistaken,
For there's nothing the Yanks can't
do;
SO well bow cur heads most humbly,
To the old Red, White and Blue.
