We're All Going Calling on the Kaiser

We're All Going Calling on the Kaiser is an American World War I era song written by Jack Caddigan and James A. Brennan, published by Leo Feist on February 16, 1918.[1][2] The humorous song declared "We've got to teach the Kaiser to be wiser," with couplets like "And we'll bring him something good / A kimono made of wood."[3]

The song was part of a genre of "Kaiser-hanging songs," which numbered more than a hundred in 1917 and 1918.[4] The title page featured an illustration of the Kaiser recoiling as US troops entered Berlin.[4]
