Thinking of a swine, Austria thought—but couldn't, act, And now there's only nine. Nine little foreign lands, Simmering with hate; The Czebhs found hating not enougli And now there's only eight. Eight little foreign lands, Put in Heaven. Poland trusted over much Arid now there's only seven. Seven little' foreign lands, In an awful fix; Norway tried neutrality And now there's only six. ~ Six little foreign lands, Hardly half alive. Denmark stuck to dairy work ' And now there's oi*^five. Five little fbreigflfflfads, Tried the open door. Belgian troops threw down their arms And now there's only four. Four little foreign lands. Hoping to be free. Holland couldn't stand the strain And now there's only three. Three little foreign lands; In an awful stew. got eaten up And now there's only two. Two little foreign lands . Went to meet the Hun. France's leaders ran away And new their r&ce is run. One little sea-girt land. Standing all alone. She's going to win this blinkm* war. And win It on her own. Yours etc., ALL THE WAY*
