Now take the recent struggle ’twixt America and Spain, When all is said and all is done, there’s only one man to blame. Chorus Editor, Editor, we all know your name. Editor, Editor, you’re the man to blame. (Repeat) He saw his circulation sinking mighty low, So he says we need a yarn to put us on the go. Then he looked at Cuba, and then he looked at Spain, He says I’ll tell the world and God of Cuba’s tragic shame.

He wrote of bleeding Cuba, he wrote of cruel Spain, He says that we should intervene, in Christianity’s name.
