J MONTAGUE T Tc b c p 6 DAWES When we got In the scrap there was need of of a chap Who Vho could hustle the boys to the tho front So they'd be bo of some use when all hell busted loose And Jt It looked like a pretty big stunt With the foe on his way on the Jump to Calais With hardly a stop or a pause There was need of more more- trains trains there there was need of more brains So we sent over General Dawes War wasn't his game game but he went just the same And he did wha we wo knew he would do doHe He peeled off his coat when he got off the boat And the guns and the soldiers went through And the following year there was nothing to fear Of Ludendorf's loud vaunted might For the bors were On hand band for tor forthe the word of comma command d And didn't they put up a fight And now in inthe the mix of big world politics When nobody knows what to do When statesmen profound run In circles around And everything thing looks all aU askew And old Uncle Sam Sani takes a hand In the tha Jam Tho The solid soUd conclusion he draws In the hour of need that the way to succeed Is 13 to send over General Dawes I I He lIe talks pretty rough the rough the diplomacy stuff Has never been much In his line I But one one thing Is sure that sure that his nerve will endure And hell he'll never get weaK in the tho spine In khaki or you vou can count on his wits And when tho the big powwow is through There is never a doubt that the world will find out That he hes he's s done what he went there to do Cop Copyright 19 1924 4 by the Bell Syndicate Inc I j |
