[Verse:]
|
Did you hear of the razor brigade?
|
Of the big reputation they've made?
|
Ever since they came to France
|
They've been used in ev'ry advance
|
They are noted for capturing Huns
|
And they never go in with their guns
|
When the Captain takes his stand
|
He gives them this command:
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Take your trusty razor by the hand
|
Lead him gently into No-Man's Land
|
Keep a-dancing while advancing
|
And the first Hun that you meet
|
Hold up your razors
|
And cut off his retreat
|
They'll surrender when they see your blade
|
Razors make those German lads afraid
|
And when you bring your pris'ners back
|
You can make them ball the jack
|
And the world will say hip-hip-hooray
|
For the Ragtime Razor Brigade
