Show "DO YOUR BIT" COLUMN. If you happen these days to hear From some back-yard loud and clear A gladsome hurrah shouted; You will at once know that it means O'er night one of somebody's beans Has in his garden sprc'ulsd. Don't roast him as "gone idiotic" It's a manifestation patriotic. Laugh we long at the bonehead Hun Who to scare is seeking," Piffle for him and his "great gun," Like a donkey shrieking Chuckle when in the woods he scoots To work his new barrage: What care we for a gun that shoots Nothing but camoufagle? Get this and got it good; Let 'em through? 'Tain't in the wood. From the near side of the Somme, So say Poilu. Sam and Tom, Echo, not our leasl Ally. Rocks the Kaiser with the cry Get this nnd get it good: Let 'em through? 'Tain't in the wood! The Thrift stamp which you can buy today Will represent a certain gain; It's value will not fade away, It's price will not be spent in vain. And every thrift stamp which you add To this the first one thnt you buy, Will some day help to make you glad, And blacken up the Kaiser's eye. oo |
