We Don't Want The Bacon 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Feb 2003

If you read our history,
why it will show
that we have always held our own
with any kind of foe.
We've always bro't the bacon home,
no matter what they done,
but we don't want the bacon now,
we're out to get the Hun.

We don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
what we want is a piece of the Rhine.
We'll feed "Bill the Kaiser"
with out Allied appetizer.
We'll have a wonderful time.
Old Wilhelm Der Gross will shout:
"VasisLos?"
The Hindenberg Line
will sure look like a dime;
we don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
What we want is a piece of the Rhine...

We don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
what we want is a piece of the Rhine.
We'll crown "Bill The Kaiser"
with a bottle of Budweiser,
we'll have a wonderful time.
We'll defeat the subm'rine,
their Hindenberg machine;
there won't be any flop,
when we go over the top;
We don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
what we want is a piece of the Rhine.

When this trouble started
they said we did not have a chance.
They could not figure out
how we could get our men to France.
But we defied the UBoats
for our motto is to win,
we've got them into France right now,
they're headed for Berlin.

We don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
what we want is a piece of the Rhine.
We'll feed "Bill the Kaiser"
with out Allied appetizer.
We'll have a wonderful time.
Old Wilhelm Der Gross will shout:
"VasisLos?"
The Hindenberg Line
will sure look like a dime;
we don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
What we want is a piece of the Rhine...

We don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
what we want is a piece of the Rhine.
We'll crown "Bill The Kaiser"
with a bottle of Budweiser,
we'll have a wonderful time.
We'll defeat the subm'rine,
their Hindenberg machine;
there won't be any flop,
when we go over the top;
We don't want the bacon,
we don't want the bacon,
what we want is a piece of the Rhine.
