WHEN THE WAR IS OVER.

When this murderous war is over, just take a tip from me, There’ll be no German submarines a-diving through the sea ? For the Fatherland of Kaiser Bill, the guyxwe’re going to lick, jWill have a brand new Kaiser, and the same will be a Mick; Sag We’ll change the song, “Die Wacht am Rhein” into an Irish reel ' And make the Dutchman dance it with his toe and heel; And the police force in Berlin will be Micks from County Clare tv nen we put an Irish Kaiser in the palace “over there.” • j Then in every parkway you will find a sweet colleen z And the fields of waving sauerkraut will turn to Shamrocks green; No liver wurst or sausage when the Dutchman drinks his suds He will get corned beef and cabbage and good old Irish spuds, The heathen bombs and gas bombs we’ll throw them all away f And make them use shillalahs or bricks of Irish clay; They’ll have no Iron Crosses, for ’tis Shamrocks they will wear, : .we put an Irish Kaiser in the palace “over there.” Sure we’ve been progressing since the starting of this scrap For airships now are flying without danger of mishap, And the boats to take our soldiers we’ll build upon la plan That will insure the safety of each and every man; ’Twill be concrete ships that’ll turn the trick upon Atlantic seas And bring the German ruler to the bending of the knees, With sorrow and damnation commingled in a prayer, When we put an Irish Kaiser in the palace “over there”.
