<p>When the World War had been announced</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When the World War had been announced</p>
<p>And all the enemies had been allied</p>
<p>The Kaiser said to Mr Krupp:</p>
<p>“As I have been reading so often in the papers</p>
<p>You produce brooms made of steel.</p>
<p>Do you happen to have one to use against our enemies?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Krupp replies: “I am always going to help you.</p>
<p>Indeed, I’ve got a proper woman</p>
<p>Who is not made of china.</p>
<p>Surely, she will waste no time</p>
<p>Where she sweeps, with her broom</p>
<p>There remains never anything left.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Liege, Namur and Antwerp</p>
<p>She was sweeping with her broom</p>
<p>As if she were reaping grain.</p>
<p>Says the Kaiser: “My dear brave lady,</p>
<p>What is your name?”</p>
<p>“Big Bertha, Your Majesty!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And the Kaiser continued praising her</p>
<p>And decorated her with the Iron Cross.</p>
<p>Big Bertha curtseys and laughs.</p>
<p>Kaiser says, “Such a woman</p>
<p>I never saw in all my life.</p>
<p>Very well done, indeed, my Krupp!”</p>
