Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy
Lt. Gitz Rice
Over in the trenches up to their eyes in clay
Billy, Jack and Jimmie Joe Singing all the day
When they see a German sticking up his snout
They give him a chance to get out of France
When they all shout
Keep your head down Fritzie boy
Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!
Last night in the pale moon light
I saw you, I saw you!
You were fixing your barb'd wire
When we opened up – rapid fire!
If you want to see your Vater in the Vaterland
Keep your head down Fritzie boy
Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!
Soon the Boche got wiser Hearing this every night
He sent us a bunch of Rifle Grenades
To give us all a fright
But he couldn't stop us We let out a roar
We'll give you your fill of old Kaiser Bill
And this damned war!
Keep your head down Fritzie boy
Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!
