[MAYOR]
Over in Europe things are bad
A great big war is going on
And every day somebody's dad
Has shot and killed somebody's son

Oh terrible! Terrible!
It's awful to think about
Oh frightful, oh shameful!
America will stay out

[VILLAGERS]
Terrible! Terrible!
It's awful to think about

[MAYOR]
They say in France a million odd
Of souls have yielded up their lives
In Germany the elect of God
Have widowed more'n a million wives

Terrible! Terrible!
The woe and ruin and rout
Oh monstrous, oh horrible!
America must stay out
[VILLAGERS]
Tеrrible! Terrible!
Amеrica must stay out

[MAYOR, spoken]
You all recall the matchless verse of our own Minerva Tompkins
