Kaiser Bill, you dirty guy
We're glad you're not our ally
And if you wanna know what we think
There are nicer enemies than
U-boat, U-boat
Why don't you act like a true boat?
Slipping around beneath the surface
Don't you realize that makes us nerfous?
The guns of August were a whole lot louder
Than the guns of June or July
It was a lousy month in Broadway's eyes
But it was mem'rable ballistics-wise
When they issued the Yanks
Their leggings and tanks
They should have issued them earplugs, too
Because the
Guns of August were a whole lot louder
Than the guns of June or July
