Chorus. Hurrah, Hurrah, for Berlin on the Spree; Hurrah, hurrah, there's "Sossugcs" for tea. We're out to catch the Kaiser aud to bring him to his knee. While we go marching to Germany. How tlve> girls all love us as they see us marching by ! Rome of them are saiicy ones, and some of them are shy. Guess they know we're cold and wet to keep them warm and dry, While we go marching to Germany. Chorus.
What, about the slacker chaps, who look before they leap? Lads who liko to save their skins and hav« their proper sleep; Let them put on petticoats and feel a little cheap. While we go marching to Germany. Chorus.
Britain's tittle army can be swept aside like fluff; That's the Kaiser's fairy tale—we'll give the beggars snuff; Rattle 'em and bustle 'em, and make 'em shout " Enough!" , While we go marching to Germany. Chorus. Hurrah,-Hurrah, for Berlin on the Spree; Hurrah, hurrah, there's " Sossiges " for tea. We're out to catch the Kaiser and to bring him to' his knee. While w> go marching to Germany. —Jessia Pom itt the ' .Daily Mail,'
