OH, BILL
Oh, Bill; Oh, Bill!
AYhere do you go to now?
You’ve lost your throne.
You’ll have to roam.
Where can you go now?
Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill!
What are you going to do?
The Yanks have won
And you must run—
Bill, get a move on you.
Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill!
You and your rat-faced son
Are out of a job.
And facing a mob—
Take to your legs and run.
Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill!
Look for a hole and hide-
It’s the only place
To hide your face
In all the world so wide.
Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill!
Nobody cares for you;
You’ve lost your crown,
And crumbled down,
Good-bye, Bill! You’re through.
