We Don't Want The Bacon (What We Want Is A Piece Of The Rhine) Composer(s): Howard Carr; Harry Russell; Jimmie Havens Performer(s): Ben Lessey
If you read your history, why it will show That we have always held our own with any kind of foe We've always brought the bacon home, no matter what they done But we don't want the bacon now, we're out to get the Hun
We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine We'll feed "Bill the Kaiser" with our Allied appetizer We'll have a wonderful time Old Wilhelm Der Gross will shout "Vas is Los?" The Hindenburg line will sure look like a dime We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine
When this trouble started they said we did not have a chance They could not figure out how we could get our men to France But we defied the U-boats, for our motto is to win We've got them into France right now, they're headed for Berlin
We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine We'll crown "Bill the Kaiser" with a bottle of Budweiser We'll have a wonderful time We'll defeat the submarine, their Hindenberg machine There won't be any stop, when we go over the top We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine
