They call it Philippinitis and you have it very bad When you can't think of anything. You start to write a letter and you try your best to think, You sit for half an hour and then overturn your ink, Then drop your pen and paper and go out and take a drink For you can't thnk of anything, can you? cho: It's so easy to forget a little thing like a thought, When your mind is topsy turvy and your memory is short I'd be a "savvy" hombre and I'd know a great lot If I only could remember what I've quite forgot. O we have a civil governor; he does his very best, But he can't think of everythlng. He does what he is able, General Chaffee does the rest- For he can't think of everything. The Phlllppines are pacified, not tranquilized, said he; He overlooked a little thing as anyone mag see - He forgot the Filipinos, and it's plain as plain can be That he can't think of everything - can he? Second and Final Chorus: It's so easy to forget a little man in brown, When gou start to put an insurrection down; He'd tranquilize the Phillipines without a single shot, If he only could remember what he's quite forgot. Now twenty thousand soldiers, oh, he said he thought would do- But he didn't think of everything. If native troops are utilized, perhaps can spare a few - But he didn't think of everything. We can occupy the Phillppines with twenty thousand men; He overlooked a little thing; he didn't tell us when. He quite forgot the date of this, the year two thousand ten - But he can't thlnk of everything - can he? A Navy song of the Phillipine Insurrection of 1898-1890; gunboats were co-opted by the Army to help with the "Pacification" of this newly-acquired possession.
