THE KAISER IN HOLLAND

When I was the boss of the 'Potsdam gans And the gang was bossing the world, And the whole parth rang with the ■mailed fist's clang And the jolly Black Flag was unfurled, Full merrily then did I and my men Drink deep of delight super-hot, But, dear me! NOW—there's a change somehow, And they say that I ought to be shot. Great Scott! They say that I ought to te shot! Mein Gott! As if I could ever be shot!! 11. Of course, it's a jest! Ha! One of the best! But I feel just a goose-flesh shiver; Why, a ball on the vest, goes clean through the chest And quite plays tho deuce with the liver! Now it's perfectly true that I and my crew Have rnined round bullets n lot, But it's rank high treason giving that as a reason For saying I ought to be shot. Great Scott! Tho idea of JIB being shot! Mein Gott! A Kniser and King being , shot!! 111. When I made my advance through Belgium fliid France, And sent out my bravo submarines, I but followed Roninnce, bewitched by tho glanoo 'flint fascinates King and Queens. I'vo followed her madly nnd fallen in badly; ■ And of course I must settle the scot, But I firmly refuso to agree with their views Who say that I ought to be shot! Great Scott! How TTORIiID it is to be shot! Mein Gott! But suppose I should REALLY be shot??? . . . '(Wipes his brow.) It's hot! —Tom Dick.
