Lookin’ ahead in the mist,

With a tin hat over your ivory

And a rifle clutched in your fist;

Waitin’ and watchin’ and wond’rin’

If the Hun’s comin’ over to-night—

Say, ain’t the things you think of

Enough to give you a fright?

Things you ain’t even thought of

For a couple o’ months or more;

Things that ’ull set you laughin’,
