"Patriotic song at the end of the First World War"

Run away, Kaiser William, run away,
Run away, Kaiser William, run away,
Lord Kitchener say, "Cheer, boys, cheer,"
With security and alacrity,
We will conquer Germany.

Fly yo' flag, ev'rybody fly yo' flag,
Fly yo' flag, ev'rybody fly yo' flag,
Lord Kitchener say,- "Cheer boys, cheer,"
With security and alacrity,
We will conquer Germany.
