Jack Horntip	Origins: There's a Soldier in the Grass (9)	There's a Soldier in the Grass [Tune Assembly]	05 Jan 23
Several versions of this ditty. All to the bugle tune "Assembly". A version by Joe_F. Date: 17 Oct 08 - 08:56 PM There's a soldier in the grass With a pinball up his ass. Take it out, take it out, Like a good Boy Scout. There's a soldier in a tree With a bullet up his pee. Take it out, etc. Another version by GUEST,Mrrzy-at-work. 07-Apr-00 - 12:08 PM My dad used to tell a story of the only time he was ever struck by his mom was for singing. Never heard anyone else knew this one. It would have happened in the late 20s or early 30's. There's a german in the grass With a bullet up his ass Pull it out, pull it out Boy scout! Finally a version from from G. Legman's I Love You I really Do, Part 1 Page 346. He learned this at Boy Scout summer camp ca 1928. There's a nigger in the grass And he's up the Kaiser's ass -- Pull him out, Uncle Sam, Pull him out, pull him out!
