('horns. Hurrah, Hurrah, for Berlin on the Spree-; Hurrah, hurrah, there's "Sassiges" 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 sec us marching by! Some of them are saucy ones, and some of them are shy. i Guess they know wi.-'re cold and wet to keep them warm and dry, While we go marching to Germany. Chorus. j What about the -slacker chaps, who look before they leap? JLadu who like to save their skins and j have their proper .sleep; | Let them put on petticoats and i'eol a little cheap, While \vo go marching to Germany. Chorus. ; Britain's little army can bo swept aside ! like fluff; i That's the Kaiser's i'airy Laic—we'll give the beggars smifF; .Rattle Y;n and bustlo- Yin, and make 'em shout "Enough!"

We're out to catch the Kaiser and to bring him to his knee-, While we go marching to Germany. d —Jessie Pope, in the "Daily .Mail."
