More WW1 Camouflage Sheet Music

Sheet music cover for Camouflage (1917)

In earlier posts, we've talked about camouflage-related sheet music from World War I. Above is the cover (artist unknown) of yet another (awful) song called Camouflage: Nut Song No. 2 by L. Wolfe Gilbert and Anatol Friedland (1917). The lyrics read as follows— 

This war has brought us trouble,
And lots of humor too,
For life is just a bubble,
I'll prove that fact to you;
Our friends abroad have coined a word
that probably we've never heard,
It sounds so funny and absurd,
It surely is a bird.
Oh, Dan, Oh, Dan,
you dictionary man.

CHORUS
Camouflage, Camouflage, that's the latest dodge,
Camouflage, Camouflage, it's not a cheese or lodge,
We'll say a Yankee trench is here,
The artist paints a keg of beer,
That's bound to bring the Germans near—
that's Camouflage.

Camouflage, Camouflage, that's the latest dodge,
Camouflage, Camouflage, it's not a cheese or lodge,
You buy a Ford that's second-hand,
You paint it red, it looks so grand.
And near a "Stutz" you let it stand—
that's Camouflage.

Camouflage, Camouflage, that's the latest dodge,
Camouflage, Camouflage, it's not a cheese or lodge,
Now Missus Cohn is fifty-six,
With all the young boys she likes to mix,
She dyes her hair and paints her cheeks—
that's Camouflage.

Camouflage, Camouflage, that's the latest dodge,
Camouflage, Camouflage, it's not a cheese or lodge,
Now La Follette he talks too much,
To me he's funny as a crutch,
They say he got himself in dutch—
that's Camouflage.
