Lyrics | The Kaiser’s Dinner Verse: We’re taking a dinner to Kaiser Bill We’ll serve it to him in Berlin He says he’s hungry and wants a feed Here’s shrapnel salad and cannon seed. A Camel can go seven days on a drink This dinner will last him for life we think Be patient William no need to fret We’ll bring it to you on a bayonet. Refrain: Here’s a submarine sinker, and a chaser too, Liquid fire for your coffee, mustard gas in your stew. And some bullet preserves Bill, We prepared as a treat, We will forcibly feed you old boy, You’re going to eat. Verse: The Crown Prince hurried to Paris so fast He met himself running back home He found on reaching that place in the sun There was no room there for a dirty Hun The Yankees have brought the whole bunch to bay And taught Ludendorff not to get so gay Go tell your papa while yet there’s time To select his shock troops to defend the Rhine. Refrain: Liberty motors by thousands and a million tanks, You found you started something when you riled the Yank |
