Lyrics
  • When the Yankees Yank the Kaiser Off His Throne (The Yanks Are On the Way) Verse: You may call them Yanks or Sammies, north and south they all respond, When e’er the bugles sound the reveille
  • Now they know the starry banner has been threatened from beyond, They are bound to get the beast across the sea. Refrain: Hurray, hurray, the Yanks are on the way, hurray, hurray, they’ll make the Kaiser pay, They are going millions strong and the right will whip the wrong, When the Yankees yank the Kaiser off his throne. Verse: With a firm and honest President on guard while they’re away, And they know that he’ll be true to ev’ry one
  • They have left their dear old mothers while their loyal sweethearts say, We’ll be waiting when you’ve finished up the Hun. Refrain: Hurray, hurray, the Yanks are on the way, hurray, hurray, they’ll make the Kaiser pay, They will give Alsace Lorraine and poor Belgium back again, When the Yankees yank the Kaiser off his throne. Verse: O the Yanks are from the ranks,
