And the other safety stuff,They were pretty apt to find That the Chief played mightyrough. But we havent got him now; He is somewhere in the Armistice was signed, He went on a pass with me;And we tarried for a while In a little French cafe,And I reckon hes there now, Putting Creme de Menthe away! Little White Bear loves the sweet Fire-water of the French!He is doubtless sitting now On the little rustic bench,In the corner of the shop, Just the way I left him there;And Marie is very busy, Pouring drinks for Little Bear!. And hes making Injun eyesAt the lady of the place;And she doesnt mind a bit, Or her heart belies her face-In the little cabaret With the rooster on the sign,She is full of love and wonder-He is full of love and wine!
