Part 12 (1/2)

Battr'y three, you always see at Double time.

Double time, double time!

On the run we always keep, We even do it in our sleep.

Double time, double time!

When we eat our food goes down at Double time.

Double time, double time!

Always jump and run like h.e.l.l, Faster than a British sh.e.l.l.

Double time, double time!

Boche can't hit us, for we move at Double time.

Double time, double time!

It's the surest road to fame, If you live and don't get lame.

Double time, double time!

Hammond's favorite outdoor sport is Double time.

THE 8TH NEW ENGLAND

(_Air: Michael Roy_)

The Eighth New England Infantry is the one that shows them how; If Kaiser Bill could see us drill, the war would be over now.

Out in front of the Hostess House, as we go marching by Where the ladies are sitting, they drop their knitting, and all begin to cry: ”For oh! For oh! What a wonderful company!

It must be either the General Staff or Company 8 N. E.”

If Elihu Root could see us shoot out on the rifle range He'd send us to Russia to help lick Prussia--oh, what a glorious change!

If General Pers.h.i.+ng could hear us cursing the whistle that blows too soon, There'd be a decree that reveille would come in the afternoon.

”For oh! For oh! What a wonderful company!

It must be either the General Staff or Company 8 N. E.”
