Hunting the Hun

제1차 세계대전 당시 불러진 노래. 작사 하워드 E. 라저스. 작곡 아치 고틀러.

제목의 Hun은 훈족이라는 뜻으로, 제1차 세계대전 당시 독일군을 비하하는 단어였다. 즉 이 노래의 제목은 "독일놈 사냥"이라는 것. 노래의 내용은 "독일놈 사냥"을 하는 방법을 설명하고 있다.

독일군을 인간이 아니라 쥐새끼처럼 여기는 듯한 가사다. 사람 잡는걸 "게임"이라 묘사한다던지, 먹이를 주고 잡는다든지…….

Over in France there's a game that played
by all the soldier boys in each brigade
It's called Hunting the Hun
This is how it is done!

First you get the 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 get the gun

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 last thing across the sea
It's the game that is new
They're all doing it too!

First you get the 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 get the gun
Then you look for a Hun
Then you start on the run
for the son of a gun
If you want bring them out
Offer them a little bit of hot sauerkraut

They come over the top
with a hip 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 get the 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 hip 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!
