Under our outer rind, or peel,

Deep at the core of England's schemes

There lurked a lust for blood and steel;

Herr Bethmann-Hollweg he proclaims

The War was due to our intrigue and

Expounds our militaristic aims

Into the ear of Herr von Wiegand.

We are a dragon belching fire,

One of those horrors, spawned in hell,

Who come from wallowing in the mire
