(Written by an Ontario Boy)
Whets you take Icing George's ehllling
And express yourself as willing,
To COME) out and fight the Hun,
Then your troubles have begun,
Par you'll always have to fight,
Against the "Pilgrims of the Night,"
There are many things out here,
That you will wietake I fear.
Bardehips that you suet contend,
While your country you defend,
But the thing to make you grouse,
Is the aggravating louse,
Perhaps you may not like your
victuals.
For they're not all Beer and ekittlee,
You will find hard work in trenches,
Always digging new defences,
And you'll also find some lice,
And they're far from being nice..
We don't mind the Germans' boasts,
We don't mind the German hosts,
We can always play our cards.
When we meet the PruseianGuarde,
But it puts you in the rate,
When you've got to fight with "Chats,"
W hen you've little Army Corps,
On your body forming fours,
Always on the night attack,
Making chargee on your Peek,
Till you shout with all your might,
"Gott Strafe the "Pilgrims of the
Night." -
You can pick them out in batches,
You can burn them out with matches,
You can kill them by the score,
But you'll kind there's always snore.
X ou can scratch yourself to pieces,
But you'll find your stock increases.
Though a hundred you may kill,
You will find there's hundreds still,
And 'they hide behind each other,
And they're good at taking cover,
And they have an awful bite,
And a shocking appetite.
There are families in dozens,
Uncles, Mothers, Slaters, Brothers,
And they've got their married quart,
ers.
Where they hatch their sone and
daughters
And they take a lot of catching,
Also cause a lot of scratching.
Oh, these pests are simply hell,
Worse than all the German shell,
Talk about your Russian hordes,
And they do not fight with swords,
It's enough to send you "balmy,"
Wiping out the dusty army.
When you do get off to sleep,
They are forming up two deep.
When you are in the land of node,
They are forming up in squads,
And you'lI find it meet annoying,
When the Sections start deploying.
Till at last there comes a day,
When you throw your shirt away,
And You'd throw your trousers too,
If they'd only let you do,
And adopt the ancient style,
Wearing nothing but a simile.
When you get a clean ehirt on,
You may think that they are gone.
But with sorrow you wilt learn,
That like Russians they'll return.
Reinforced from far and near,
' To attach you in the rear.
Night and day you get no rest,
Trunbles with this awful pest,
And they never will be beaten. '
While there is any flesh uneaten,
And they'll give no peace until
Kaiser Will has paid His bill.
