Lyrics | We’re Going to Take the Germ out of Germany Verse: There’s a song the boys are singing ev’rywhere, You can hear the echoes ringing over there. It must be right for it can’t be wrong, They sing this song as they march along. Refrain: We’re going to take the germ out of Germany, and a happy land ‘twill be. We’re going to take the germ out of Germany, as all the world will see. Sweet flowers will bloom where the cannons boom, eternal peace will be planned, And when we take the germ out of Germany, they’ll all love the fatherland. Verse: Tho’ they think that we may blunder, we don’t care. You can bet the Germans wonder over there. But they’ll find out as they will see, We’re fighting the cause of liberty. Refrain |
