Till a year or so ago,
When a men called Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
"He said to me dear William,
We don't want to make you sote
So be sure to tell your U-boats
To sink our ships no more.
' We have told you for the last time
So, dear Bill it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it
You have got to fight us too
"I did not listen to him,
And he p coming after me
With four million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
Now, that's why I called you, Satan,
For I want advice from you
I knew that you would tell me
Just what I ought to do.
"My dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell.
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in hell.
"I've been a mean old devil,
But not half as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
I'll give my job to you.
"I'll be ready for your coming
And I'll keep the fires all bright
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
"For the boys in blue will get you;
I have nothing more to tell.
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell."
