And so, the Yanks declared war on Germany and Austria,
2nSo that they could go over there and fight the war to end all wars,
3And save the world for odemocracy,
4Not to mention get even with the Krauts,
5No matter what it cost.
6pArmed with these great principles, the Yanks drafted a whole bunch of doughboys,
7And sailed off to aEurope to join the Brits and the Frogs in the enormous btrench that had been dug in the middle of France,
8Where the combined military might of the most powerful nations on earth had been locked in mortal combat for years,
9cEquipped with the most modern and deadly weapons anyone had ever seen,
10dWhich they fired at each other from point-blank range,
11Until the fields of France were soaked in the blood of tens of millions of dead Europeans,
12Including the blood of millions and millions of Krauts,
13eWho should have had more sense than to sink a ship carrying several hundred Yanks,
14fBecause now they were really going to get it.
