My grandad (b 1905) used to sing a couple of WWI kids' songs:

Kaiser Bill went up the hillto spy the British army,
Gen'ral French jumpd out the trench and knocked the Kaiser barmy!
(Goes to Jack & Jill went up the hill)

Poor old Kruger's dead,
He died last night in bed,
He cut his throat on a bar of soap,
Poor old Kruger's dead.
(Goes to The grand old duke of York)


Baby's Name goes down well when I sing it on the Isle of Wight. One or two attempt the chorus now, althought they usually only get as far as "Methuen"!
