In the land of dopey dreams
Happy pretty Phillipines
Where the bolo man goes running night and day
Where talagos steal and lie, and Americanos die
And our soldiers they all sing this happy lay!

Damn, damn, damn the filipinos
Cross-eyed khakiac ladrones
And beneath our starry flag
Civilize em with a Krag
And return us to our own beloved home

Underneath the nippa thatch where the skinny chickens scratch
Only refuge from the hot sun all day long
When I lay me down to sleep slimy lizards or’ me creep
And our soldiers they are sing this happy song.

Refrain

Social graces they are few and the women smoke and chew
And the the men do things the Padres say are wrong
But they Padres cut no ice for they feed on fish and rice
And our soldiers they all sing this happy song

Refrain

Whew!!!!!! All from memory!!! Roninphx likes it when I sing it to him while at the SW gathering!! LOL

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
