Good Morning Mr Zip-Zip-Zip! 1918

We come from ev'ry quarter,
from North, South, East and West,
To clear the way to freedom,
for the land we love the best.
We've left our occupations
and homes, so far and dear,
but when the going's rather rough,
we raise this song of cheer:

Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as mine,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
you're surely looking fine,
ashes to ashes,
and dust to dust,
if the Camels don't get you,
the Fatimas must,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as,
you hair cut just as short as,
your hair cut just as short as mine.

Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as mine,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
you're surely looking fine,
ashes to ashes,
and dust to dust,
if the Camels don't get you,
the Fatimas must,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as,
you hair cut just as short as,
your hair cut just as short as mine.

You see them on the highway,
you meet them down the pike,
in olive drab and khaki
are soldiers on the hike;
and as the column passes,
the word goes down the line,
"Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
you're surely looking fine."

Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as mine,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
you're surely looking fine,
ashes to ashes,
and dust to dust,
if the Camels don't get you,
the Fatimas must,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as,
you hair cut just as short as,
your hair cut just as short as mine.

Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as mine,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
you're surely looking fine,
ashes to ashes,
and dust to dust,
if the Camels don't get you,
the Fatimas must,
Good morning Mister ZipZipZip
with your hair cut just as short as,
you hair cut just as short as,
your hair cut just as short as mine.
