The Man who Put the Germ in Germany is a song written in 1918 during World War I. Lyrics and music were composed by Nora Bayes, Sam Downing, and Abe Glatt. Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, Inc. of New York published the song for both voice and piano. On the cover of the sheet music is a large picture of Nora Bayes. The song celebrates America by using word play of famous leaders' names like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to highlight their achivements. For example, in the chorus: :''And we love our Lincoln too,'' :''for he "linked" the Gray and Blue,'' :''And Washington "washed" tyranny away''〔 The use of word play continues throughout the song, even to shine a negative light on Germany and its emperor during World War I, Wilhelm II. The lyrics read: :''But the world is now a flame'' :''At the "Hell" in Wilhelm's name,'' :''The man who put the "Germ" in Germany''〔 ==References==
