Tell That To The Marines - Al Jolson
Do you remember Kaiser Bill
About a year ago
We told your old friend Bernstorff
That he better pack and go
You laughed and said
America possessed no fighting stuff
Until our fighting Yankee boys walked in
And called your bluff
That Monte Cristo idea will not do
If you think that the world belongs to you
Well tell that to the Marines
Those deviling hounds
Who know what fighting means
You are going to lick the world
You said you will
If you mean Uncle Sam now listen Kaiser Bill
Tell that to the Marines
The first to fight on all the fighting scenes
If you think you'll sink our new boat
With your damned old u-boat
Tell that to the Marines
That line of Hindenburg's would never break
You made a vow
It must be made of rubber Bill
The way it's bending now
The Krupp works that you bragged about
You rave of them no more
We'll change them to the bankrupt works
When we end up this war
So Kaiser Bill at warfare we are new
If you think now the Yankee drive is through
Well tell that to the Marines
Those deviling hounds
Who know what fighting means
We are going to have six million men in line
Kaiser Bill if you don't think
They will cross the Rhine
Tell that to the Marines
The first to fight on all the fighting scenes
If you think the Yanks won't whirl-in
Right straight into Berlin tell that to the Marines
