Let us not forget the name,
The dirty, filthy, shameful name,
Ewell T. Otis is the name,
That blots our Nation's history.
For Otis and his infantry,
Maimed and slaughtered savagely,
Two hundred thousand peasants dead,
Attest to Ewe1l’s bravery.
For all across the Philippines,
In crimson flowing sticky streams,
The blood of helpless human beings
Irrigate his memory.
McKinley honors Ewell's name,
And Teddy says he's not to blame,
My God!, he only killed some blacks,
And Hell! they're not the same!
These blacks they had the gall, you see,
To ask us for their liberty,
To ask us to their master's face,
But Otis put them in their place.
For all across the Philippines,
In crimson flowing sticky streams,
The blood of helpless human beings
Irrigate his memory.
We can't undo the evil done,
By Otis and his Springfield guns,
And yet we can repent, O Lord,
The horrors of this evil horde.
But let us make a solemn vow,
No matter what, no matter how,
Otis and his cursed name,
Shall not escape its hard earned fame.
