Lyrics Hunting The Hun Over in France there's a game that's played By all the soldier boys in each brigade It's called Hunting the Hun This is how it is done! First you go get a gun Then you look for a Hun Then you start on the run for the son of a gun You can capture them with ease All you need is just a little Limburger cheese Give 'em one little smell They come out with a yell Then your work is done When they start to advance Shoot 'em in the pants That's the game called Hunting the Hun! First you go get a gun Then you look for a Hun Then you start on the run for the son of a gun You can capture them with ease All you need is just a little Limburger cheese Give 'em one little smell They come out with a yell Then your work is done When they start to advance Shoot 'em in the pants That's the game called Hunting the Hun! I met a soldier and he told me It's just the latest thing across the sea It's the game that is new They're all doing it too! First you go get a gun Then you look for a Hun Then you start on the run for the son of a gun You can capture them with ease All you need is just a little Limburger cheese Give 'em one little smell They come out with a yell Then your work is done When they start to advance Shoot 'em in the pants That's the game called Hunting the Hun! First you go get a gun Then you look for a Hun Then you start on the run for the son of a gun If you want to bring them out Offer them a little bit of hot sauerkraut They come over the top with a pip and a hop Then your work is done When they stop in to eat Cut off their retreat That's the game called Hunting the Hun! First you go get a gun Then you look for a Hun Then you start on the run for the son of a gun You can always make them pain Let them know there's going to be a pinochle game They come over the top with a pip and a hop Then your work is done When they first show their face Crump 'em with a mace That's the game called Hunting the Hun!'
