Pack Up Your Troubles in an Old Kit Bag
|
George Asf, 1915
Private Perks is a funny little codger With a smile, a funny smile Five feet none, he's an artful little dodger With a smile, a funny smile. Flush or broke he'll have his little joke, He can't be suppress'd. All the other fellows have to grin When he gets this off his chest, Hi! Chorus: Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, And smile, smile, smile, While you've a lucifer to light your fag, Smile, boys, that's the style, What's the use of worrying? It never was worth while, So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, And smile, smile, smile. | 2. Private Perks went a-marching into Flanders With his smile, his funny smile. He was lov'd by the privates and commanders For his smile, his funny smile. When a throng of Bosches came along With a mighty swing, Perks yell'd out, This little bunch is mine! Keep your heads down boys and sing, Hi! Chorus:
3. Private Perks he came back from Bosche shooting |
