Keep Your Head Down, Fritzi Boy - American Quartet

Lt. Gitz Rice

Over in the trenches up to their eyes in clay

Billy, Jack and Jimmie Joe Singing all the day

When they see a German sticking up his snout

They give him a chance to get out of France

When they all shout

Keep your head down Fritzie boy

Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!

Last night in the pale moon light

I saw you, I saw you!

You were fixing your barb’d wire

When we opened up — rapid fire!

If you want to see your Vater in the Vaterland

Keep your head down Fritzie boy

Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!

Soon the Boche got wiser Hearing this every night

He sent us a bunch of Rifle Grenades

To give us all a fright

But he couldn’t stop us We let out a roar

We’ll give you your fill of old Kaiser Bill

And this damned war!

Keep your head down Fritzie boy

Keep your Head down Fritzie Boy!
