HOCH DER KAISER
Hoch der Kaiser!How he slapped his son,When he saw the war begin!Spoke the Kaiser in his wrath to the crown prince,“What an awful mess you’ve got me in!”“Squads of Russians, French, and Englishmen,Swords a-tilt to quell us all;Couldn’t you wait until we had grown stronger,With more men and guns on which to fall?“I’ll not say that I am so displeased,That you’ve laid Mar’s spirit bare,—’Tis the will of every noble Deutscher,—But you should ’a used much greater care.“Now we’ve got to battle,—we’re in for war!But I guess I’ll let you fight.’Sides, it’s just as good a time as anyJust to show them all our might.“Let the drum beat to its martial tune;StrikeWacht am Rheinand let’s begin;Austria’s aid will go to help us some,So I guess we’ll now stay in.”
