The Blue Devils Of France 1918

I've seen many diff'rent pictures
of the devil down below;
and he doesn't stand a show,
with a certain devil I know.
Let me introduce you to him
you'll be happy when I do.
He's a devil dressed in blue,
and a soldier through and through.

High up in the Alpine mountains,
are the Blue Devils,
where the rain and shrapnel fountains,
scar the Blue Devils;
with their glistening sabers,
amid the shot and shell,
they visit their Austrian neighbors,
and give them H E double L;
H E double L.
Strong and active, most attractive;
are the Blue Devils;
they came here the Liberty Loan to advance;
we entertained them with the best,
and now they've gone back to the trenches to rest
those Devils, the Blue Devils of France.
