Bring Back The Kaiser To Me 1917

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 16 Feb 2003

Now little Johnnie was a volunteer,
he kissed his girl goodbye,
he said: "Don't worry,
I'll be back, my dear,
so sweetheart, don't you sigh.
Your soldier boy will always be true blue,
tho' far across the foam
come tell me, tell me what to bring to you
when I come sailing home..."
And as she brushed her eye,
he heard her cry.

"I do not care for a diamond ring
a string of pearls
you do not need to bring
Do not bring a motor car
when you come back from afar.
Please do not bring a sable coat to me
but I would happy, happy be;
if you see Gen'ral Pershing
tell him I will jump with glee,
if he will bring back, bring back
bring back the Kaiser to me.

"I do not care for a diamond ring
a string of pearls
you do not need to bring
Do not bring a motor car
when you come back from afar.
Please do not bring a sable coat to me
but I would happy, happy be;
if you see Gen'ral Pershing
tell him I will jump with glee,
if he will bring back, bring back
bring back the Kaiser to me.

I want his helmet for a nice ash tray,
that's one thing I will take,
his uniform I'll raffle right away,
for little Belgium's sake.
I'll make some pillows of his robes of plush,
so Fido can lie down
I'll use his moustache
for a whitewash brush
and hock the Kaiser's crown..."
She cried: "Goodbye, my pet,
now don't forget...

"I do not care for a diamond ring
a string of pearls
you do not need to bring
Do not bring a motor car
when you come back from afar.
Please do not bring a sable coat to me
but I would happy, happy be;
if you see Gen'ral Pershing
tell him I will jump with glee,
if he will bring back, bring back
bring back the Kaiser to me.

"I do not care for a diamond ring
a string of pearls
you do not need to bring
Do not bring a motor car
when you come back from afar.
Please do not bring a sable coat to me
but I would happy, happy be;
if you see Gen'ral Pershing
tell him I will jump with glee,
if he will bring back, bring back
bring back the Kaiser to me.
