-^Blf^vaBiS^Theres a Bit of a Punch in a Yankee Lad MY FLAG AND MY BOY A story is told, in the Book of Old, Of a tough old jawbone of an ass. And David smote, with a sling, they wrote, Till Goliath was laid on the grass. There never was bone as hard as the fist Of a bean-fed Yankee Doodle, So, you rotten old lout, youd better look out For your nobody-home German noodle. Theres many a hound thats taken the countBy a punch on the point of a snoot,So, Fritzie, my boy, its coming, oh joy.Youre a mighty sick German galoot.That punch never lands but it lands with a might,And it never was sent except for the right.So, Fritzie, old sausage, youre in for a fight.You had better sit tight, Good night, GOOD NIGHT,YOURE IN FOR A HELL OF A FIGHT, GOODNIGHT!
