A is for America,
And its army across the sea.
They’re over, there to fight the Boche,
And set poor Belgium free.
B is for the Boches,
They had a little luck;
But they’ll find out later
They’ve something else to buck.
C is for the cruelties,
To Belgium the Germans have done.
But they’ll soon find out
They will i>ay dear for all their fun.
D is for the devil,
The kaiser will have to pay,
For Uncle Sam will show him
He don’t have all the way.
E is for the English,
They sure do have the stuff;
They’re going after the Germans,
And going to call their bluff.
F is for France,
Our sister over there.
For when it comes to fighting,
She surely is a bear.
G is for Germany.
She sure does have some gall,
To even think she’s going to be
The ruler over all.
H is for Hindenburg,
Part of Germany’s brains;
He tried to get to Paris,
But only tried in vain.
I is for the Italians,
Who were caught unawares;
But they’ll soon have the Germans
On their knees saying prayers.
J is for our Jackies,
So staunch and true;
They convoy our transports
Over the ocean blue.
K is for the Kaiser,
And peace terms he tried to preach,
But now that Uncle Sam has started.
He’ll find his words won't reach.
L is for the Lusitania,
And its awful loss of life;
It was the first stepping stone
That brought us in this strife.
M is for the millions
We Americans subscribed.
We raised it all in record time.
And never even tried.
N is for our nurses,
So true, staunch and brave;
They- bind un our soldiers’ wounds,
And try their lives to save.
O is for the ocean,
'Cross which our boys must go;
Dodge a dozen submarines
And fight a heartless foe.
P is for Pershing,
With our boys over in France,
He’ll soon show the Boches,
How to jump and dance.
Q is for a question,
That sometimes may arise.
But when Uncle Sam is done with them
It'll be a big surprise.
R is for the rumpus,
Von Bernstorff tried to start;
But when we caught him at his game,
He sure had to depart.
S is for the Stars and Stripes,
We fought for oft before;
And we’ll keep on fighting for them,
As we did of yore.
T is for the trials
Which we will have to bear;
Ard sacrifices we’ll have to make
For our boys over there.
U is for the U-boats.
They sure caused quite a loss;
But Edison will show them
They can't be always boss.
V is for the vulture.
Germany tries to represent;
But for all the dirty deeds she’s done.
She’ll sure have to repent.
W is for Wilson,
Busiest man in the land.
So don’t do your knocking now—
But boost to beat the band.
X is for the X-mas fund
For our boys in foreign land;
So kindly do your bit,
And give a helping hand.
Y is for yearning.
That fills a mother's heart;
