VERSE 01: Big Chief put his war paint on and kissed his squaw goodbye;/Throw away his pipe of peace, and went to do or die./He said, "Uncle Sammy feeds me, gives me all I get,/Now that Uncle Sammy needs me,/Big Chief no forget." VERSE 02: Pershing wants to catch the Kaiser, take him live or dead;/Big chief says he's satisfied if he can get his head./There will be no more Budweiser, in the Kaiser's brew,/All he's goin' to get to drink will be some Waterloo. CHORUS: Big Chief's on his way to Berlin, just to do his share;/Big Chief's goin' to make 'em squawk,/When he hits 'em with his tomahawk./Big Chief's goin' to scalp the Kaiser, take away his gun;/Oh! oh he have heap much fun;/Goodbye Herman, no more German;/Big Chief Kill-a-Hun. | |
