We are the valiant Knights of Peace Who prattle for the Right: Our banner is of snowy fleece, Inscrib'd: "TOO PROUD TO FIGHT!"
By sweet Chautauqua's flow'ry banks We love to sing and play, But should we spy a foeman's ranks! We'd proudly run away!
When Prussian fury sweeps the main Our freedom to deny; Of tyrant laws we ne'er complain; But gladsomely comply!
We do not fear the submarines That plough the troubled foam; We scorn the ugly old machines- And safely stay at home!
They say our country's close to war And soon must man the guns; But we see naught to struggle for - We love the gentle Huns!
What though their hireling Greaser bands Invade our southern plains? We well can spare those boist'rous lands, Content with what remains!
Our fathers were both rude and bold, And would not live like brothers; But we are of a finer mould We're much more like our mothers!
