Carabao anthem [entitled The Soldier's Song]
In that land of copy dreams, happy, peaceful Philippines,
Where the boloman is hiking night and day,
Where Tagalogs steal and lie, where Americanos die,
There you hear the soldiers sing this evening lay:
d**n, d**n, d**n the Filipinos,
cross-eyed kakiack ladrones!
Underneath the starry flag civilize 'em with a Krag,
And return us to our own beloved homes!
There's a land of copy dreams, far from Filipino themes,
Where the bolomen are busy night and day;
Where they wield the gladsome axe, taking huge and gory hacks
At a shining pate or lock of hoary hair.
d**n, d**n, d**n the Filipinos,
cross-eyed kakiack ladrones!
Underneath the starry flag civilize 'em with a Krag
'Ere they return us to our own beloved homes!
Old time customs there are few -- all the members hack and hew
At the standpat bunch in manner far from nice.
They believe in making Hay, Warren for it day by day;
When the pie is cut each wants the biggest slice.
I've a large and growing hunch that this insurrecto bunch
Would have been the chaps to cop the fleece of gold.
Poor old Jason in his hunt would have pulled a better stunt
Had he the crowd that left us in the cold.
