Lyrics

Treason, treason, treason!

But fellows, I tried to get you the war debts

I did everything I could

It isn't what you did

It's what you didn't do

It isn't what you did

It's what you didn't do

It isn't what you did

It's what you didn't do

When you promised us milk and honey

It isn't what you did

It's what you didn't do

It isn't what you did

It's what you didn't do

And you just didn't get us the money

When it isn't what you did, but what you didn't

There is little that a fellow can do

I tried my best to get you the money

But you didn't get it, isn't that true?

We tried our best to get you the money

But you didn't get it, isn't that true?

When it isn't what you did, but what you didn't

When it isn't what you did, but what you didn't

And the court has a judge

Whose mind won't budge

There's nothing that a fellow can do

There's nothing that a fellow can do

Well, here's something I can do

The penalty for treason is beheading

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Psst—John!

Try it

It worked once

Before you go any further, with your permission

I must tell you of my husband's delicate condition

Delicate condition? What do you mean?

I'm about to be a mother

He's about to be a father

We're about to have a baby—

Hold on there

You can't get away with that again

That was all right four years ago, but it doesn't go with the Army

What is it—twins again?

Huh, well, it's your tough luck

Now if you want to say goodbye to your husband, all right

But make it snappy

Just one chorus
