So watch the southpaw twirler in his uniform O. D.
Retire to the players’ bench the Boches—one, two, three!
He’ll never walk a bloomin’ one, nor let ’em hit it out.
Just watch him make ’em fan the air and put the Hun to rout!

ON law and love and mercy
Was laid the German curse
When to her execution
Was led the British nurse.
In brutal might they thought her
Of help and friendship shorn;
John Brown, Jeanne d’Arc, all martyrs,
Companioned her that morn.
A harmless, tender woman,
They took her to her doom;
A dread, resistless spirit
She rises from the tomb.
Still Germany shall fear her,
For since that bloody dawn
Through all the earth that trembles
Her soul goes marching on!
TO SERVE IS TO GAIN
