american.
We're getting ready now to say farewell,
Soon we'll sail for gay Paree to give the
Kaiser h-1,
We'll be shouting, "So long, Jack," and
"goodbye, U. S. A.,"
We're getting down to business in a
good old Yankee way.
It's a long way to the trenches; it's a
long way, it's true;
It's a long way to dear old Paris, across
the ocean blue.
Good-bye to old America; farewell pal
of mine,
We'll eat our Christmas dinner on the
banks of the Rhine..
