Lyrics and music were composed by Nora Bayes, Sam Downing, and Abe Glatt.[1] Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, Inc. of New York City published the song for both voice and piano.[2] It reached number seven on the US song charts in August 1918.[3] On the cover of the sheet music is a large picture of Nora Bayes.[4] The song celebrates America by using word play of famous leaders' names like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to highlight their achievements. For example, in the chorus: And we love our Lincoln too, for he "linked" the Gray and Blue, And Washington "washed" tyranny away[2] 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[2] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Vogel |first=Frederick |date=1995 |title=World War I Songs: A History and Dictionary of Popular American Patriotic Tunes, with Over 300 Complete Lyrics |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland & Company, Inc. |page=207 |isbn=0-89950-952-5}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Man who Put the Germ in Germany}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.loc.gov/item/2013566477/ |title=The man who put the germ in Germany |author= |website=Library of Congress |access-date=30 November 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.musicvf.com/top_songs_of_1918 |title=Top Songs of 1918 |author= |website=Music VF |access-date=8 December 2015}} 4. ^{{cite book |last=Parker |first=Bernard S. |date=2007 |title=World War I Sheet Music |volume=1 |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland & Company, Inc. |page=393 |isbn= 0-7864-2798-1}} 4 : 1918 songs|Songs of World War I|Songs about Germany|Songs about Wilhelm II |
