MARCHING TO GERMANY

(To be sung to the tune of 'Marching Through Georgia.') Swing along together, lads, we'll have a little song, Kits won't be so heavy, and the way won't be so long, We're goin' to cook " the Sossiges," to cook 'eni hot and strong — While we go inarching 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 we go marching to Germany. How the girls all love us as they see us marching by! Some of them are saucy ones, and some of theni' 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 like to save their skins and hava their proper sleep; Let them iput on petticoats and feel a little cheap, While we go inarching to Germany. Chorus. Britain's little 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 wo, go inarching to Germany. — Jessie Pope, m the 'Daily Mail.'
