You Keep Sending 'Em Over And We'll Keep Knocking 'Em Down 1918

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

Our Yankee soldiers fighting
in the trenches "over there,"
all sing a little air,
that makes the Germans swear.
The Huns attack and then our boys
go at 'em with a swing,
it drives the Germans crazy,
to hear the Yankees sing:

You keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down;
we'll plant 'em under the clover,
six feet under the ground.
Send on ev'ry Hun,
No matter how tall,
the bigger they come.
the harder they fall;
so you keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down.

You keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down;
we'll plant 'em under the clover,
six feet under the ground.
Send on ev'ry Hun,
don't overlook one,
the faster they come,
the sooner we're done;
so you keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down.

The Kaiser told the Germans
that the Yankees were a bluff,
but they learned soon enough,
that fighting Yanks are tough.
And even though the Huns don't know
our language very well,
they quickly make for cover,
each time the Yankees yell:

You keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down;
we'll plant 'em under the clover,
six feet under the ground.
Send on ev'ry Hun,
No matter how tall,
the bigger they come.
the harder they fall;
so you keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down.

You keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down;
we'll plant 'em under the clover,
six feet under the ground.
Send on ev'ry Hun,
don't overlook one,
the faster they come,
the sooner we're done;
so you keep sending 'em over,
and we'll keep knocking 'em down.
