Swing along together, lads ; we'll have a little song, <br />Kits won't be so heavy and the way won't be so long. <br />We're goin' to cook ' the Sossiges,' to cook 'em hot and strong <br />While we go marching to Germany. <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />Hurrah, hurrah, for Berlin on the Spree ! <br />Hurrah, hurrah, there's 'Sossiges' for tea! <br />We're out to catch the Kaiser and bring him to his knee <br />While we go marching to Germany. <br /> <br />How the girls all love us as they see us marching by! <br />Some of them are saucy ones, and some of them are shy. <br />Guess they know we're cold and wet to keep them warm and dry <br />While we go marching to Germany. <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />What about the slacker chaps, who look before they leap? <br />Lads who like to save their skins and have their proper sleep <br />Let them put on petticoats and feel a little cheap, <br />While we go marching to Germany. <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />Britain's little Army can be swept away like fluff; <br />That's the Kaiser's fairy tale ice we'll give the beggars snuff ; <br />Rattle 'em and bustle 'em, and make 'em shout 'Enough!' <br />While we go marching to Germany. <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />Hurrah, hurrah, for Berlin on the Spree! <br />Hurrah, hurrah, there's 'Sossiges' for tea! <br />We're out to catch the Kaiser and to bring him to his knee, <br />While we go marching to Germany.<br /><br />Jessie Pope<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marching-to-germany/
