  Give soldiers a vote? Don't talk so blame silly! They've gone to the War To beat Kyzer Billy; And till that be done There's plenty of fun. The war may be pressing But—Politics first! Let's keep up the Game, Though the Heavens should burst; Then we're sure of our pay, Till the very Last Day. Great Scott! Don't you see How we stand on the brink? Give soldiers a vote? They would say what they think; And from power and pay We should rapidly sink. So don't talk about it, Don't mention it now; Let the men go to war And the women to plough; We Statesmen will govern.... The Lord, He knows how! |
