Lyrics | We Don’t Want the Bacon Verse: If you have read your hist’ry, then you’re bound to know, That we have always held our own with any foe. We’ve always brought the bacon home, no matter what they’ve done, But we don’t want the bacon now, we’re out to get the Hun. Refrain: We don’t want the bacon, we don’t want the bacon, what we want is a piece of the Rhine, We’ll crown Bill the Kaiser with a bottle of Budweiser, we’ll have a wonderful time, Old Wilhelm the Gross will shout “Vas iss Los” when we hit the Hindenberg line. FINE! We don’t want the bacon, we don’t want the bacon, what we want is a piece of the Rhine. Verse: When first this war began they said we had no chance, They couldn’t figure how we’d get our men to France, But they will soon discover Uncle Sam is out to win, We’ve got the Fritzies on the run, we’re headed for Berlin.
