Nick asks Flo to invest in a casino Nick has decided to launch, but Flo's money <br>
is tied up in his new show, so Fanny becomes Nick's partner. Fanny is featured <br>
in the new 1920 Ziegfeld Follies World War I tribute number:<br>
<br>
Eddie:<br>
Our boys went rat-tat-tat-tat,<br>
Rat-tat-tat-tat,<br>
And shot the Kaiser where he sat-tat-tat-at.<br>
With every poppity-pop,<br>
Some Kraut took a drop.<br>
American boys are all such straight shooters--<br>
We'll take care of him, Mother,<br>
When he comes home from the war.<br>
We'll take care of him, Mother,<br>
We'll do everything that you would do--yeah--and more.<br>
Rat-tat-tat-tat,<br>
We'll give their backs a big pat.<br>
They deserve a future full of joys<br>
'Cause they're our Yankee Doodle,<br>
Yankee Doodle,<br>
Yankee Doodle,<br>
Doughboys.<br>
Company--Order--Arms--Roll Call--<br>
Company:<br>
I'm Private Jones from Arkansas,<br>
I'm Private Smith from Kansas,<br>
I'm Private Ryan from Maine,<br>
I'm Private Burke from Wisconsin,<br>
I'm Private O'Brien from Texas,<br>
I'm Private Muntz from Michigan,<br>
Fanny:<br>
.I'm Private Schvartz from Rock-a-way,<br>
And I guess you heard reports<br>
That the Kaiser runs a block away<br>
When they tell him, here comes Schvartz,<br>
'Cause ven I get mad, believe it, Jack,<br>
Out from nowhere comes a maniac,<br>
A kick in the foot,<br>
A shot in the pants--<br>
I wouldn't give a second chance.<br>
Schvartz from Rock-a-way.<br>
Chorus:<br>
Private Schwartz<br>
Private Schwartz<br>
Private Schwartz from Rock-a-way.<br>
Fanny:<br>
I met Mademoiselle from Armentieres<br>
And my bagels gave a spin (oy, yoy),<br>
She said, Private Schvartz,<br>
Come closer, dear!<br>
What a tzimmis I got in!<br>
Ven you're fighting for democracy,<br>
Call on Irving Schvartz and company,<br>
I'm through and through<br>
Red, white and bluish,<br>
I talk this way<br>
Because I'm British.<br>
Tell Far Rock-a-way, don't pull the dock away,<br>
'Cause sailing home is General Schvartz.<br>
All:<br>
Rat-ta ta ta ta tat,<br>
We'll give their backs a big pat.<br>
They deserve a great big medal<br>
And a loud huzzah,<br>
Over here and over there<br>
You'll hear<br>
Rat-tat a tat tat,<br>
Rat-tat a tat tat,<br>
Rat tat a tat tat tat,<br>
That's our Yankee Doodle,<br>
Yankee Doodle<br>
Rat tat a tat tat tat<br>
Hurrah.<br>
<br>
