Be a Yankee

                                                        

Aguinaldo’s had enough

Aguinaldo’s dropped his bluff

Aguinaldo you’re the stuff

     Scrap? You don’t know how;

Aguinaldo, it was rough

Aggie, dear, you made a muff,

Otis and his men are tough

     Be a Yankee now.

Aguinaldo, take advice

Aguinaldo, come, be nice,

Shake no more the army dice,

     To “Erudition” bow;

Aguinaldo, break the ice

Make a good Manila splice

Aggie, Aggie, take advice,

     Be a Yankee now.
