  The germans are beaten as 
  they never were before 
  They know it and they say Oh! 
  Why did he start "War".
                 ---------------
  In England, France, and Italy. 
  In Yanky-land as well 
  There will be far more glad eyes 
  than Kaiser-bill can tell. 
                  ---------------
  Of course there'l be some sad eyes 
  there always is at "War" 
  Waiting the return of their dear ones 
  who's not lost but gone before 
                  ---------------
  And those who's homes are broken 
  and are too old to work. 
  Let us bring to them some sun-shine 
  for all that we are worth
                  ---------------
  We'l give them the best of good things 
  and look to them in their age 
  For in this world's war book 
  Theirs is the sadess page
                  ---------------
  Then the young and helpless children to 
  we cannot forget them 
  They who have lost their dads you know 
  Some of our best fighting men 
                  ---------------
  I'm pening this as I look from 
  Malta's rocky shore 
  Our dear ones in blighty will 
  soon see us roll home once more 
                  ---------------
  And we'll give them herty cheers as 
  up the street we go 
  And shout "Are we down-hearted" 
  No But kaiser bill is you know
