“CEIDDRYM” AND THE KAISER.

To change the map of Europe
The nations are at war,
And many now are fighting
That never fought before,

Siberians and Zealanders,
And Gurkhas and Sepoys,
Red Indians, Pathans, Fijians,
And many British boys.

And in their midst we cheer
A soldier true, to-night,
Who's proved himself a warrior
And ready for the fight.

We've met all here to greet him,
And honour dear Dan,
For he's proved himself right always
A soldier and a man.

He's been in many battles,
He's gone through many a mill,
But they have never ground him,
And I think they never will,

For he's again returning
To fight the good old cause,
And pop the cruel Kaiser
Upon his meddling done.

On Sunday in the paper
Twas said of Kaiser's hair
That it had turned its colour
And goes all white with care;

I never saw the tyrant,
The truth I cannot tell,
But one plain fact we're sure –
His heart's as black as hell.

We're taught to fight the devil
By every means and ways,
But the Kaiser beats the devil
In all his wicked ways;

A butcher like the Kaiser
Mankind has never fought,
For he has done a thousand things
The devil never thought.

Thank God for men like Danny
To go to face the knave
Who's sacrificed in thousands
The innocent and brave:

We hope he'll smash the Kaiser,
And shut his awful row,
And bring when he's returning
His whiskers to the Plough.
