Lyrics
1. The Kaiser once said to his friend Von
The Americans are coming
Turn loose all the subs
And sing them all in the sea
But America said turn loose the aeroplanes
And we will drive Heinie back to the Rhine
Chorus
We touch our hats to you, Soldier Boy
We throw a kiss to you, Sailor Boy
You are our choice to beat the Hun
Now you have them on the Run
There’s no stop or turning back
While you’re on your way
From the good old U.S.A.
Soldier and Sailor Boy
2. The Von said to his chum Kaiser Bill
Can’t you see the Yanks are coming
They’re ten million strong
And we know how they can fight
Then the Kaiser got scared and hollered let’s have peace
For they are driving us back to the Rhine
