On The Sidewalks Of Berlin 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Feb 2003

Now we all know the Kaiser
each day is getting wiser,
that someday soon
he'll lose his little crown;
for he's hikin' to the border
to get his crew in order
to keep the Yankees out of Berlin town.
But he'll get all that's coming
some fine day,
for this is what I heard a soldier say:

We're drivin' 'em back, boys,
we're drivin' 'em back,
we're gettin' nearer ev'ry day;
we're goin' to smash that Hindenbergh line,
and then we'll cross the River Rhine.
And when we are done, boys,
then we'll have some fun,
we're goin' to tan the Kaiser's skin,
and we'll sing: "Hail!
Hail! The gang's all here!"
On the sidewalks of Berlin.

We're drivin' 'em back, boys,
we're drivin' 'em back,
we're gettin' nearer ev'ry day;
we're goin' to smash that Hindenbergh line,
and then we'll cross the River Rhine.
And when we are done, boys,
then we'll have some fun,
we're goin' to tan the Kaiser's skin,
and we'll sing: "Hail!
Hail! The gang's all here!"
On the sidewalks of Berlin.

There'll come a time when Willie
will see how awfully silly
that he was when he tried to rule the world;
for altho' he whipped the Russians,
what a diff'rence when his Prussians
against the men of Uncle Sam were hurled!
There'll be a change in Germany some day,
you feel it when you hear the soldiers say:

We're drivin' 'em back, boys,
we're drivin' 'em back,
we're gettin' nearer ev'ry day;
we're goin' to smash that Hindenbergh line,
and then we'll cross the River Rhine.
And when we are done, boys,
then we'll have some fun,
we're goin' to tan the Kaiser's skin,
and we'll sing: "Hail!
Hail! The gang's all here!"
On the sidewalks of Berlin.

We're drivin' 'em back, boys,
we're drivin' 'em back,
we're gettin' nearer ev'ry day;
we're goin' to smash that Hindenbergh line,
and then we'll cross the River Rhine.
And when we are done, boys,
then we'll have some fun,
we're goin' to tan the Kaiser's skin,
and we'll sing: "Hail!
Hail! The gang's all here!"
On the sidewalks of Berlin.
