[50] IN CAMP AND TRENCH THE COMB BAND OH ! we love the gay Victrola in the watches of the night And we sit about and listen to its records with delight, And we like to hear the music of the regimental band While the leader juggles gaily with the baton in his hand, But the melody that s sweetest as we linger in the gloam Is the harmony extracted from a fine tooth comb. Yes, we get some tissue paper and some combs from out our kit And we gather in the squad-tent where the lantern shadows flit, An...d we play a bunch of ragtime with a lot of vim and go, In a sort of jazz-band rhythm all the latest stuff we know; . Tunes that set your shoulders swaying, while your thoughts are light as foam, To the sound of syncopation on a fine tooth comb. It s a crazy sort of music which would drive a critic mad, But it makes the evenings shorter and it really ain t so bad; IN CAMP AND TRENCH THE COMB BAND (continued) And it often kind of gets you when the boys start in to play, For Fve seen some homesick fellows wipe a tear or two away To the strains of "Suwanee River" and "My Old Ken tucky Home" As they float in wistful minors from a fine tooth comb.
