What'll We Do With Him Boys? 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 21 Feb 2003

"Oh Boys," the Sargeant said to us.
"Oh Boys - there's joy ahead for us.
Heppety hep and watch your step,"
and then he read to us.
We'll sail away for France
tomorrow morning.
We said that we would give the Kaiser "his"
We waited for the chance
and here it is.

What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
What'll we doodle oodle
Yankee doodle do,
will we get old Kaiser Bill?
You can bet your life we will,
it's up to me and you.
What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
We'll cage him up and send him to the Zoo.
Where the Lion and Giraffe
can take a look at him and laugh
and say: "The Yanks
made a monkey out of you!"

What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
What'll we doodle oodle
Yankee doodle do,
will we get old Kaiser Bill?
You can bet your life we will,
it's up to me and you.
What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
We'll cage him up and send him to the Zoo.
Where the Elephant and Ox can say:
"You thought you were a Fox,
but now the Yanks
made a monkey out of you!"

"Oh Boys," they passed the buck to us,
Oh Boys - we'll show the pluck is us.
Clickety clang, the bloomin' gang
just say goodbye to us,
we say goodbye to you tomorrow morning,
when we return we'll have a load to pack,
because we're goin'
to bring the Kaiser back.

What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
What'll we doodle oodle
Yankee doodle do,
will we get old Kaiser Bill?
You can bet your life we will,
it's up to me and you.
What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
We'll cage him up and send him to the Zoo.
Where the Squirrel in his hut
can yell: "I heard you were a nut,
but now the Yanks
made a monkey out of you!"

What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
What'll we doodle oodle
Yankee doodle do,
will we get old Kaiser Bill?
You can bet your life we will,
it's up to me and you.
What'll we do with him boys?
What'll we do?
We'll cage him up and send him to the Zoo.
Where the 'RangOutang' will shout:
"They feed us all on sauerkraut,
because the Yanks
made a monkey out of you!"
