The song was sung for the first time in public at the National Educa­ tional convention, held in Portland last week, and made a big hit (slang and all; with the educators: (Tune—“ Marching Thru Georgia") Bring the good old bugle, boys, we’ll sing another song; Sing it with a spirit that will move the world along, Sing it as we need to sing it—half a million strong— While we are canning the kaiser. CHORUS— Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill! We’re on the job today! Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill! We’ll seal you so you'll stay! We’ll put you up in ginger, in the good old Yankee way— While we are canning the kaiser. Hear the song we’re singing on the shining roads of France; Hear the Tommies cheering and see the Poilous prance; Africanders and Canucks and Scots without their pants— While we are canning the kaiser. Bring the guns from Bethlehem, by way of old New York; Bring the beans from Boston and don’t leave out the pork; Bring a load of soda-pop and pull the grape-juice cork— While we are canning the kaiser. Come, you men f om Dixieland, you lumber jacks of Maine; Come, you Texas cowboys, you farmers of the plain; From Florida to Oregon we boast the Yankee strain— While we are canning the kaiser. Now we’ve started on the job. we mean to put it thru; Ship the kings and kaisers all, and make the world anew; Clear the way for common folk, for men like me and you— While we are canning the kaiser.
