lyrics

When Vesta Tilly did a show
To France she told us lads to go
Vesta said “Boys just don’t sit here,
Go straight outside and volunteer”

The sergeant signed us one by one
For uniform, tin hat and gun
He said, “Lads when you get to France,
You can make the Kaiser dance”

With bullets and with shot and shell
We’ll give the huns such bloody hell
And when us lads arrive in France
We’ll surely make the Kaiser dance

The shells are blasting from our guns
Raining death on the bloody huns
With bayonets fixed and over the top
We are the boys they’ll never stop

Before we go we pray to god
That we don’t end beneath the sod
Then when we’ve sent the huns to hell
We’ll get comfort from the mad’mwaselles

And now that bloody war is done
I’m all that’s left, me pals are gone
We all were sure we’d go to France
And we would make the Kaiser dance.

I march for them on Remembrance Day
And for their souls I kneel and pray
Their bodies lay in the fields of France
As we tried to make the Kaiser dance.

And now my life draws to it’s end
Soon time to meet me pals again
Remember us when you have a chance.
The boys who made the Kaiser dance.
Remember us when you have a chance.
The boys who made the Kaiser dance.
