Now tell me what can England doA
Said the Kaiser to the SpyB
She can do nought your MajestyC
You rule the sea and skyB
Her day of destiny is doneD
Her path of peace is plainE
For she dare never throw a troopF
Across the Strait againG
The Kaiser sent his mighty hostH
With Bombast in advanceI
To set his seal on Paris firstJ
And make an end of FranceI
Their guns were heard in Paris streetsK
And trembling Europe heardL
They re staggering back in Belgium nowM
And England said no wordL
-
Now tell me what can England doA
Said the Kaiser to the SpyB
She can do nought in Southern seasN
Where her possessions lieB
Her colonies are arming nowM
They only wait your aidO
I ll send my ships the Kaiser saidP
And I will kill her tradeO
-
The Kaiser sent his cruisers forthQ
To do their worst or bestR
And one made trouble in the NorthQ
The Cocos tell the restR
He sent a squadron to a coastH
Where treachery prevailedS
Gra mercy They were stricken hardT
On seas that Raleigh sailedS
-
Now tell me what can England doA
Said the Kaiser to the SpyB
Her ports are all unfortifiedA
And there your chances lieB
He sent his ships to ScarboroughU
And called them back againG
The Blucher lies in Channel oozeV
With seven hundred menG
-
Oh tell me what can England doA
Said the Kaiser to the SpyB
She can t hold Egypt for a dayA
I have it from On HighB
And so the Kaiser paid the TurkW
To put the matter throughA
And England s Queen of Egypt nowM
And boss of Turkey tooA
-
Now tell me what shall England doA
Said the Kaiser to the SpyB
You see that neither of them knewA
Much more than you or IB
But the blooming thing that s troubling meC
As the pregnant weeks go byB
-
Is wotinell shall England doA
When the Kaiser hangs that SpyB
