Caused the 90-day War with Spain.
The sick were handed "CC" pills,

Caused World War and the boys went back.
They fought under water and in the sky
And kissed the frauleins on the sly.
Their pay was sixty bucks-perhaps,
For whipping Krauts and killing Japs,
While the treatment for their many ills,
Was various shots and lots of pills.
They called Doughboys long ago;
Then we were Yanks-now it's CT joe
They gave them medals and service bars
Oak Leaf Clusters and more bronze stars;
Purple Hearts and ugly scars.
