1917

Written by：Matthew Friedberger

Going down Morgan with Janko Jerko and Jerry

We downed our pils and over at the south shore they sipped their sherry

I opened my kaiserized speller to learn what they know

Nurse killers annexers-executioners wo

Hey slavonians be ye mindful

That our tis tongue dies never

The happy hun felsch sure likes his blond beer

And I like his doubles so much I might even cheer

Last year he had enough and got fixed on the cardinal

Who'd pardon all

The riff-raff and all their sinister ways and halfs and he laughs

Over on 56 th and he's got the arsenic on his left white sock

And he sees the chicken stock in a big black pot

And he pours in the lot but what ruined or saved the day

Was that the soup then turned gray and a hundred higher-ups came

Back from the hospital to keep getting wafers from mundelein

But now the gigantics are getting the tar taken out of their pine

By my hero red faber and I'm ready to get rapprochement with my neighbor

As part of the healthy back and forth

But not if he's from up north

So I ask dad why can't we ever win ever win once

So I ask dad why can't we ever win ever win once

Go ask dad why can't you ever win ever win once

Go ask dad why can't you ever win ever win once

Go ask dad why can't you ever win ever win once

Go ask dad why can't you ever win ever win once
