Kitchen Police 1918

There's dirty work to be done in the army,
and it's not much fun;
it's the kind of work that's done,
without the aid of a gun,
the boys who work with the cooks in the kitchen
holler out for peace,
for they have to do the dirty work
and they're called the Kitchen Police.

Poor little me, I'm a K.P.
I scrub the messhall
upon bended knee,
against my wishes
I wash the dishes,
to make this wide world
safe for Democracy.

Poor little me, I'm a K.P.
I scrub the messhall
upon bended knee,
against my wishes
I wash the dishes,
to make this wide world
safe for Democracy.
