When I talk to you in French.

IF I WERE A COOTIE

If I were a cootie (pro-Ally, of course),

I’d hie me away on a Potsdam-bound horse,

And I’d seek out the Kaiser (the war-maddened cuss),

And I’d be a bum cootie if I didn’t muss

His Imperial hide from his head to his toe!

He might hide from the bombs, but I’d give him no show!

If I were a cootie, I’d deem it my duty
