                  "Der Tag"

  Here's to the day. when the whole thing is won

  Here's to the day when the Kaiser is done

  Here's to the day when we break his swelled dome

  Here's to the day that we go marching home

           Long, restless nights

           With cursed cootie bites

            Things of the past!

           Hot baths at last!

            Real dollar bills!

            No more O.D. pills!

  Chicken instead of our canned willie chow

  All of the ice cream the law will allow!

  Mess in the way we want to be messed!

  Dress in the way we like to be dressed!

            Blouses + suits!

           No more salutes!

          A nice, comfy  bed.

           With a mattress instead

            Of some billet  floor

          That makes your ribs sore

  The day when we no longer blister our heels

  But know how a ride in the old subway

                                                            feels

  The day we no longer parlez Francais

  But speak once again in the good old home

                                       way.
