| Lyrics | Soldier and Sailor Boy Verse: The Kaiser one said to his friend Von, the Americans are coming, Turn loose all the subs, and sink them all in the sea But America said turn loose the aeroplanes, and we will drive Heinie back to the Rhine. Refrain: 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 Verse: Then 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.
