the yanks

...
i remember my uncle john talking about "the yanks"
from the war
or just after the war
in vienna
a divided zonal city
he said the yanks were
the best people in the world
not got something?
ask a yank and he'll give it you
some austrian wants something and you haven't got it?
ask a yank
and he'll give it you to give to them
...
the yanks?
best people in the world
and he would never hear anything against them without saying
the yanks
best people in the world
...
...
he also said the viennese had zero respect for the british or americans
would take the piss in any way they could get away with
but that they'd walk past the Russians
on their knees
