The Yanks Are At It Again Verse: Read your hist’ry, read your hist’ry, and you’ll plainly see, How we came to be the home of the brave and the free, It’s no myst’ry, it’s no myst’ry, how the thing was done, When you recall that we had men like Grant and Washington. The good old Yankee spirit’s in the air, and now old Kaiser Bill had better take care. Refrain: The Yanks are at it again, again, the Yanks are at it again, You’ll find them ev’rywhere, on land and sea and in the air, Take a look at our men, our men, they’re going in and then Old Kaiser Bill will surely get his fill before we’re through, For Uncle Sam will teach him lots of things he never knew, Our boys have never started anything they couldn’t do, Look out! Look out! The Yanks are at it again. Verse: Read the papers, read the papers, there is bound to be, News of victory, our victory over the sea, Watch the capers, watch the capers, of our brave Marines, They’ve shown the bragging Germans what a real live fighter means
