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
