Lyrics
Our noble boys in blue
Are coming coming
There'll be a hullabaloo
The flutes will play.
The flutes will play
And the trumpets will bray
And the drums will be drumming
Drumming.
The lonely arms that we've
Been saving saving
Around their necks will weave
The sun will beam.
The sun will beam
And the eagle will scream
And the flags will be waving
Waving.
Three cheers and a tiger
For our brave boys in blue!
Rahl Rah! Rah!
Tiger!
Three cheers and a tiger
For our brave boys in blue
Now our Mayor's wife, Mrs. Juniper
Has a word to say to you.
At last you're safe at Angel's Roost
We've all been waiting quite a while
To welcome you we have produced
A pageant in the latest style.
Twas Miss Minerva wrote the verse
And Lovey Mars who set the tunes
And I would faithfully rehearse
The folks on Sunday afternoons.
Welcome to you, Captain Mars
With your pair of silver bars
Welcome, Ajax Finucane
The strong of arm and weak of brain.
Then there's Agamemnon Nimmin
Always handy with the wimmin
Not to mention ol' Nestor Neider
A smooth talker but a rough rider.
Bluey Weinerwitz, Thirsty Miller
They fought with Dewey at Maniller
Silas Protes, Homer Pickins
Made them Cubans run like the dickens.
Skinny Diomede Kunkel
Made them Spanish holler Uncle
Achilles Akins known for fighting
And his chum Patroclus Whiting.
And Doc Macahan who cured their ills
With Carter's Little Liver Pills
Last but not least of the foregoing twelve in
Glory is Ulysses Spelvin.
This show you thought up
Gee it was pretty
Boys, I'm too wrought up
Thank the committee.
Thank you for the many letters
You writ us
And the caps
'n earmufiFs
'n mittens
'n sweaters
'n mufflers
*n socks
You knit us.
Did you have wild adventures?
Tell us
Fellas.
Why don't you ask Ulysses?
He's got the gift of gab
The bright one is Ulysses
His instinct never misses.
He's crazy like a fox he
Just overflows with moxie
When we get in a tangle
He figgers out an angle.
He's smarter
Than Nick Carter
He's the one to tell you all.
