World War I
Get your gun, get your gun,
Take it on the run,
On the run, on the run.
Hear them calling, you and me,
Every son of liberty.
Hurry right away,
No delay, go today,
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad.
Tell your sweetheart not to pine,
To be proud her boy's in line.
(chorus sung twice)
Johnnie, get your gun,
Get your gun, get your gun,
Johnnie show the Hun
Who's a son of a gun.
Hoist the flag and let her fly,
Yankee Doodle do or die.
Pack your little kit,
Show your grit, do your bit.
Yankee to the ranks,
From the towns and the tanks.
Make your mother proud of you,
And the old Red, White and Blue.
(chorus sung twice)
Chorus
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there -
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there.
Private Perks is a funny little codger
With a smile a funny smile.
Five feet none, he’s and artful little dodger
With a smile a funny smile.
Flush or broke he’ll have his little joke,
He can’t be suppress’d.
All the other fellows have to grin
When he gets this off his chest, Hi!
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile,
While you’ve a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that’s the style.
What’s the use of worrying?
It never was worth while, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
Private Perks went a-marching into Flanders
With his smile his funny smile.
He was lov’d by the privates and commanders
For his smile his funny smile.
When a throng of Bosches came along
With a mighty swing,
Perks yell’d out, “This little bunch is mine!
Keep your heads down, boys and sing, Hi!
Private Perks he came back from Bosche-shooting
With his smile his funny smile.
Round his home he then set about recruiting
With his smile his funny smile.
He told all his pals, the short, the tall,
What a time he’d had;
And as each enlisted like a man
Private Perks said ‘Now my lad,’ Hi!
How you can love!
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Heavens above!
You make my sad heart jump with joy,
And when you're near I just
Can't sit still a minute.
I'm so, Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Please tell me dear.
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome, it's true,
But when I look at you,
I just, Oh, Johnny!
Oh, Johnny! Oh!
Good-bye New York town, good-bye Miss Liberty,
Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea,
Ev'ry soldier's sweetheart bidding good-bye,
Ev'ry soldier's mother drying her eye.
Cheer up we'll soon be there, Singing this Yankee air:
Good-bye Broadway*, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Good-bye sweethearts wives and mothers,
It won't take us long.
Don't you worry while we're there,
It's for you we're fighting too,
So Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,
We're going to square our debt to you.
Vive Pershing is the cry across the sea.
We're united in this fight for liberty.
France sent us a soldier, brave Lafayette
Whose deeds and fame we cannot forget.
Now that we have the chance
We'll pay our debt to France.
Good-bye Broadway*, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Good-bye sweethearts wives and mothers,
It won't take us long.
Don't you worry while we're there,
(ad lib) It's for you we're fighting for,
So Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,
We're going to help you win this war.
There’s a million mothers knocking at the nations door,
A million mothers, yes and there’ll be millions more,
And while within each mother heart they pray,
Just hark what one brave mother has to say.
There’s a million mothers waiting by the fireside bright,
A million mothers, waiting for the call tonight.
And while within each heart there’ll be a tear,
She’ll watch her boy go marching with a cheer.
America, I raised a boy for you.
America, You’ll find him staunch and true,
Place a gun upon his shoulder,
He is ready to die or do.
America, he is my only one; My hope, my pride and joy,
But if I had another, he would march beside his brother;
America, here’s my boy.
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
[1st verse:]
Peace has always been our pray'r
Now there's trouble in the air
War is talked of ev'rywhere
Still in God we trust
We're not looking for any kind of war
But if fight we must
[Refrain:]
It's up to you!
What will you do?
England or France may have your sympathy
Or Germany
But you'll agree
That
Now is the time
To fall in line
You swore that you would so be true to your vow
Let's all be Americans now
[2nd verse:]
Lincoln, Grant and Washington
They were peaceful men each one
Still they took the sword and gun
When real trouble came
And I feel somehow, they are wond'ring now
If we'll do the same
(Words by D.A. Estron / Music by Theodore Morse and Arthur Sullivan, 1917)
Irving Kaufman - 1943
Don't tell anyone but I got keyboard imprints on my forehead for a little bit today.
Now remember sssssshhhh! Don't tell anyone.
Mr B will be going to DC on March 17th...
This is something he wrote on the PGR site, and I wnated to share it with you..
"Hanoi Jane has now re-invented herself as Jihad Jane, once again siding with our self- sworn enemy. Her half-hearted apologies for her Vietnam shenanigans now ring completely hollow.
Although I won't participte in using street jargon to slander her and her ilk, I do think the truth needs to be told regarding the danger posed by these traitorous actions.
She and the entire group of "peace activists" who are actually the "useful idiots," willing propagandists, and who at that time caused a shift in American public opinion, and an ill-conceived hurried exit. This resulted in the deaths of millions of civilians in South Vietnam and in the killing fields in Cambodia
They wear the blood of those innocent people on their hands.
Never having been prosecuted, not only do they still roam free, able to practice their vile craft, they are also firmly entrenched in various levels of our federal government, including Congress, the CIA, Dept of the Interior, and Homeland Security.
Now that treasonous cult is doing the exact same thing to the troops in Iraq through the cooperation of the obvious left-leaning press and weak underqualified elected representatives in Washington.
Once again, if successful, their actions will cause another series of bloodbaths in the middle east.
The fact that the players are mostly the same individuals, and their MO practically identical should tell you something. Many of us have taken an oath to protect the US from enemies both foreign and domestic.
In case you're not certain, these anti-Americans are "enemies domestic"
Although they have the right to freedom of speech, they also have the responsiblity of preserving the climate of national security for their fellow countrymen. One can be a "dove" without being an abject traitor.
In this modern age of instant communication, they embolden the terrorists who monitor the news and internet rantings, and they try to adversely affect our troops' resolve. Their effort also sends a message to the world that the United States is a cowardly, untrustworthy and weak nation whose word is not worth the paper it's written on.
In fact, certain former elements of the Department of State have openly expressed dismay that the US was the world's only superpower, and strove hard to change that status.
Because of this component in our American culture, in the past we have broken our committments to our those we purported to defend and abandoned them to certain slaughter
I will not apoligize for stating the obvious:
That "hate group from Kansas" to which we largely owe our foundation, is only the tip of this iceburg of internal strife in our own midst. The greater universe of "enemies domestic" is no less vile, and even more dangerous.
In the long run they are destroying our nations might. And in the short run, despite what they say regarding "protecting the troops," they don't care if their deliberate and reckless actions get even more of our brave troops killed...something none of us wants.
"Never Again" is exactly why I joined the PGR."
Evening Sandy.
LOL.
Cool! This was my Granddaddy's war. He served on a battleship in the Navy and earned a medal for bravery, for carrying a wounded sailor on his back from the gas-filled decks below deck. He came home and married Grandma, they had four kids, one of which was my Dad. RIP, Pop Pop.
How-DEEEEEEE!!!
Shhhhh!!!
Your secret is safe with me!
hee hee!
Ms.B
Me?
Thanks for posting this outstanding article by Mr.B.
Thanks Mr.B for standing up to those traitors.
God bless you and Mr.B for all you do.
My grampa was in France in WWI. He was great; died at age 98 when I was 18. Didn't get to see him much (too far away) but he was not only kindly but full of life, playing baseball with me when he was very old.
Unfortunately, I didn't know much about him being in WWI and maybe was too young to care, so never asked him about it. Supposedly 1 of my dad's family has some diary info of grampa's, but it's fallen off the radar.
Aloha Herr BigLook.
Wie gehts?
:)
Oh!
I LOVE it!
I didn;t mean to bug ya..
I know this is Drudge night for you!
Ms.B
Evening My.
I was here for awhile...
Never trust an aging hippy!
Thank God for the PGR riders! Thank you Mr.B! :D
