lyrics

When the Kaiser comes to town
throwin' mustard gas around
he'll be itchin' and spoilin' for a fight.
But you can bet we'll work him over
if he ever gets to Dover.
We'll tell that Hun it's time to say good night!

Pockets up, boys!
Like the Queen who taught you well.
Take the sea ports; take the dell.
Pockets up, boys!
'Til you've vanquished, and they've fell.
You'll send their jammy souls all back to heck!

When the Jerrys storm the beach
they'll be stickin' like a leech.
You'll need salt and guts to send them on their way.
But you can bet we'll still be standin'
when they're through with their demandin'.
And yes, we'll live to fight another day!

Pockets up, boys!
Like the Queen who taught you well.
Take the sea ports; take the dell.
Pockets up, boys!
'Til you've vanquished, and they've fell.
You'll send their jammy souls all back to heck!
