Khaki Sammy Verse: All the way from Illinois, to a little old town in France, All the way from Illinois, to make those Deutschers dance. Ev’ry girl has got a boy, From Iowa(y) or Illinois A mixing with the hoipolloi
Horse foot, marines, they’re swallowing beans, In a little old town in France. Refrain: Oh, you Sammy! Khaki Sammy! When I see the sun a-shining on his gun, I have to run (and sing out) Oh, you Sammy! Swagger Sammy! Sure he’s gone and got me hypnotized for fair. When into Flanders he meanders, For his luck to try, With a twinkle in his eye It’s then I’ll be cheering for my Sammy! Dear old Sammy! You can gamble on your Sammy over There! Verse: They’re rolling up from Arkansas, they’re bowling down from Maine, They’re strolling in from Saginaw, for a rendezvous on the Seine. And when they get to Kaiser Bill, Out there behind the sugar mill, They’ll make him take his little pill. They’ll ease him out, They’ll freeze him out, Of his little old ditch in France. Refrain
