Canning the Kaiser
The following song was written by Upton Sinclair, wl
ffio a
M?n years ago wrote “The Jungle,’’
v
dozen
Jungle,0 a book dealing with
canned meats and other packing house products. 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.
(Chorus)
(losing Number Was Fine
One of the best musical num
bers of the late Chautauqua was
the concert given last Thursday
night by the “Alpine Yodelers ”
There were four men and two
women in the party and every
one was a singer. Many people
consider this the best number on
the program
Four hundred dollars' worth of
season tickets were pledged that
evening for the 1918 Chautauqua,
bringing the guaranty up to the
required amount.
