Brother Bertie went away,
To do his bit the other day.
With a smile on his lips,and his Lieutenant pips upon his,shoulder bright and gay!
As the train moved out,he said:
"Remember me to all the birds!"
When he wagged his paw and went to war,shouting out these pathetic words:
"Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee!
Wipe the tear,baby dear;from your eye-ee!
Though it's hard to part I know, I'll be tickled to death to go!
Don't cry-ee,don't sigh-ee,
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee!
Bonsoir,old thing;cheerio,chin-chin!
Nah-poo,toodle-oo,goodbye-ee!"
Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee!
Wipe the tear,baby dear;from your eye-ee!
Though it's hard to part I know, I'll be tickled to death to go!
Don't cry-ee,don't sigh-ee,
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee!
Bonsoir,old thing;cheerio,chin-chin!
Nah-poo,toodle-oo,goodbye-ee!
