[1st verse:]
|
Mister Wilson, Mister Wilson
|
Won't you kindly lend an ear
|
To what we think is a bright idea
|
It is very necessary that the boys are in good cheer
|
So that they can do their best
|
And here's what we suggest:
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Send a lot of Jazz Bands over there
|
'Twill make the boys feel glad
|
Send a troupe of Alexanders
|
With their Jazz Bands out to Flanders
|
And make them play a lot of snappy airs
|
The kind that make you dance
|
It isn't just ammunition and food
|
You've got to keep them in a happy mood
|
So hurry up and send a troupe of Jazz Bands
|
Over to France
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Mister Wilson, Mister Wilson
|
Syncopation of today
|
Is the music of the U.S.A.
|
It is snappy, very happy and the only kind to play
|
For the soldiers out in France
|
Will help the big advance:
