Over in the trenches up to their eyes in clay Billy, Jack and Jimmie Joe Singing all the day When they see a German sticking up his snout They give him a chance to get out of France When they all shout Keep your head down Fritzie boy Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy! Last night in the pale moon light I saw you, I saw you! You were fixing your barb'd wire When we opened up - rapid fire! If you want to see your Vater in the Vaterland Keep your head down Fritzie boy Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy! Soon the Boche got wiser Hearing this every night He sent us a bunch of Rifle Grenades To give us all a fright But he couldn't stop us We let out a roar We'll give you your fill of old Kaiser Bill And this damned war! Keep your head down Fritzie boy Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!
