Special thanks to Betty for this record!
We come from every quarter,
From the North, South, East and West,
To clear the way to freedom
For the land we love the best.
We've left our occupations
And home, so far and dear,
But when the going's rather rough,
We raise this song in cheer:
Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip,
With your hair cut just as short as mine!
Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip,
You're surely looking fine!
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
If the Camels don't get you,
The Fatimas must!
Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip,
With your hair cut just as short as-
your hair cut just as short as-
your hair cut just as short as mine!
You see them on the highway,
You meet them down the pike,
In olive drab and khaki
Are soldiers on the hike.
And as the column passes,
The word goes down the line:
Good morning, Mister Zip-Zip-Zip,
You're surely looking fine!

My grandmother would sing this when she did housework. She would push the vacuum cleaner in time to the tune. She also loved Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag.
I'm 17 and idk why I'm so in love with this music
Displaced nostalgia, welcome to our whack world! It happened to me in the 1980s.
It is just amazing music, great to listen to when your bored
It is a quaint, optimistic, energizing song in a ragtime rhythm that soldiers loved. It and other songs of its era are like little time machines.
@Tom Frazier She won‘t read that. Also, what you‘re describing is called anemoia. I feel that too.
I’m in love with everything about Europe & America before we lost the world wars
Doing a World War One project and it's due by this Friday. Anyone think this is a good choice as background music?
better than a classical gas song?
This or "A long way to Tipperary"
I wish i could of arrived in time to mention that "over there" would be a good idea but this was made 2 years ago :(
Or Goodbye-ee sung by courtland and jeffries
WuGambino I like how everyone who suggested a song is 2 or 3 years late to suggest
My mom would sing this to me to get up for school I used to say stooooooop with that song. She’s 87 now and I think it’s such a cute song reminding me of my school days. I love my mommy
Your mom is a morning person. My late Mama, also an early riser by nature, sang just the chorus -- i guess that was all she knew of it. It was many years before i first heard the full song on the "Dr. Demento" radio show. She was born in February 1914, several months before that war started, and died at only 67.
Listening to Dr. Demento was the best! I wonder if any of his episodes are online or now UA-cam.
Thats soo sweet
Asian
Play some pearl harbor sound track you goober
My father used to sing me the chorus of this song, and I thought it was something he'd made up. I'm blown away to find out it's a real song. Thanks so much for posting this!
it does sound kind of goofy but that arguably makes it better
same here. yay....
Me too!!
We often thought our granddads made up so much

What a delightful WWI song! I march as a WWI doughboy re-enactor in our city's Veterans Day parade.
Sound really cool!
My father was in the Korean War, but sang this song in the morning when we were little kids. My husband and I now actually say it to each other as a first greeting. It makes us smile.
My Dad sang this to me every morning too! Not knowing where it came from I sang it too my kids when they were growing up annoying them no end. Now I am waking up my grandkids with it!
Went to a boy scout camp
The staff played this
EVERY MORNING
I remember when this song broke through the charts, takes me back
bro
This is among the most popular songs that the doughboys would listen while serving their time in France.
Wow, were’s this song been all the years I’ve listened to WW1 music, it’s a contender for 1st place for sure
I love the "militar" instrumental part.
Songs of WWI are very touching, so far away of us. I hope we can hear a lot of this kind of song in 2014, for the centenary of the War.
I had not remembered that this is an important commemorative year!
1918 is the year the war ended 100 years ago it is now 2018
Vieux Disques dame here I love ww1 music in general it makes it feel a happy time x
It is
Anyone else freak the f out when the painted soldier’s eyes started moving? 😂😂
that legit scared me for a second
😂😂😂 I thought I lost it for a second
Tippy Tony yes they did for a second
My US history had animations like that for a bunch of historical figures on his slides; every time he showed one to the class I bout fell out of my chair for a second
yup
I remember playing this song a ton when my great uncle was alive because he was born a few months before WW! ended. I also sang this to some of the patients at my hospital who were born before 1918 and they knew this song (being very surprised that "I myself" knew this song!
jeez that musta been a while ago.
Love these photos!One of my favorite records
The static has a certain charm to it
ikr
Technically not static (that's lightning crashes on the radio) but surface noise, but that's Okeh!
This is the best recording of this song I've ever heard.
The visuals on this are brilliant! I love the way you've done them.
Keith Balding Thanks!
Very clever presentation and great song too. Thanks!
We come from ev'ry quarter,

Great. Just two things: it was written by Robert Lloyd and there's a variation with "snip snip snip", quoted by Tom Waits in his song "Barbershop".
It makes a nice change to hear songs from the First World War (as opposed to the Second) and this one is very catchy. Thanks for sharing.
hopefully america gets its head together and stops banning history so i can listen to all this for my entire life
Banger!
I was just reading an autobiography, and the author (Louis Adamic) was describing being in the army during WWI. He mentioned two songs -- "There's a long long road a winding" and this one. The first one I knew, but I'd never heard of this one. Glad to find a recording here!
such a good fun song
WOW!!!!! Thank you for having that song and what a good rendition of it! I used to get that song sung to me when I was a kid. I love hearing it and I love marches.
Thanks for your enthusiastic response!
So did I Robin - never knew it had anything to do with this!?!
I have the 1918 sheet music for this song. I also have the sheet music for “Ain’t got Weary Yet”. They both only cost $2.14, I was pretty surprised. I got them in Utica New York. There’s a lot of cool antiques there
ToR Dropzz what instrument is the sheet music for?
Good to 👂this recording 👋
When I listen to songs from the Great War, most sound very good and patriotic and most are very much giving a feeling that I cannot exactly describe, like the static. The static gives me a feeling I cannot describe
Perhaps, gothic anemoia? I think of death, old churches, buried trails, abandoned buildings long since gone.
They may not all be quite gone. Some of then may live amongst us, although, not in a form you‘d comprehend.
GOOD MOORRRRNG 🪦 MR. ZIP ZIP ZIP, with your haircut just as short as mine. 💀 Good morning, Mr, Zip Zip Zip, you‘re surely looking dead.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, if the Camels didn‘t get you, the Fatimas must. GOOD MOORRRRRNG MR, ZIP ZIP ZIP!!! With your haircut just as styled as rot.
Sometimes I suffocate in dirt…
Wow
Wow
Wow
My parents used to sing this to my sisters and me. My dad was in WW 1 and I guess this song meant something to him. Thanks for posting this, and for all the other old songs my folks taught me.
I first heard a piece of this song in a movie called Time After Time when the main character time travels to the future.
Solid Gold !
perfect
i'm lucky to have this version...sounding good here. the vid is great. thanks.
I was surprised to find OTHER versions on youtube!
my freaking gosh this is great
"Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip" is a ragtime song published as sheet music in 1918 by Leo Feist Inc. of New York City. It was one of the most popular tunes with United States soldiers during the World War I era.
The song appears to salute American soldiers, although some have suggested that it has a more cynical meaning, in that it criticizes their transformation into an identical, conforming mass.[2]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Morning_Mr._Zip-Zip-Zip!
I believe that's how they described an army haircut; "zip,zip,zip".
Omg, I didnt think of this before, tnx.
A Crew Cut !!!!!
Who's still pumping this in 2023?
2024
Delightful.
I forgot about this old war song , this one is really cool im gonna sip a pepsi and enjoy this old classic

Very fine - thank you - beautifully illustrated.
+Janette Walker Thank you, Janette!

The animation bits is clever.
My grandfather sang this yrs ago up lifting
Just saw the movie The Husbands from 1970 and this was in the last 30 minutes
My grandfather used to sing it to me when I was a kid I’m with the other guy. I thought it was something made up but it was true World War I now I can.
i love this whole era. Even the happy songs sound sad to me. I think it's because we look back and see what those folks couldn't see. Another war's coming, boys...
Interesting to think of an American soldier smoking an Ottoman cigarette in 1918.
I heard about this song from Dune Chapter House 😊.
Greetings! I've got copies of this and Fields' VICTOR version.
I had FAM' who toured late WW2Thanks to those soldiers who experienced the war!
From the Doo little crew
This beats modern music!
AYOOOOOOOO PUSH B WITH THAT FREAKIN TANK U VEHICLE NERD
Centaura?
I have this record but I'm not sure where it is. When I was growing up in the 70s there were still several World War I veterans around.
The war to end all wars
The singer is actually Arthur Fields.
He mentioned that in the description
"Arthur Fields" was a "nom de guerre" for Abraham Finkelstein.
this is way more catchy then modern music. I love it.
Lily Jack-Goulart hasn't heard metal
@@cameronronanwelshbeast7243 fuck metal it sucks lol
This was included in the early '70s anti-war film "Catch 22". As I remember, Alan Arkin sang it at one point, even though the film was set in World War II. I had no idea when I first saw the film, when it was new, that this was an actual song and that it came from World War I. I thought it sounded strange in the film, and still think so now, after hearing an original version.
I realize "Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip" is a term for a soldier, but where the heck did that expression come from??
+hebneh A good question!
+hebneh You mean the expression "Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip"? I think it is a reference to the identical short haircuts the men that enlisted received, signaling them out whether or not they were in uniform. There was a cartoon made at the time to promote enlistment depicting two soldiers raising their helmets to reveal shaved heads. Zip, in relation to haircuts, either refers to shaving and cutting, thus, Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip is someone who has recently had his hair zipped.
Alternatively, zip originally meant fast, which is where the name for the zip on clothing came from, as it was fast. Therefore, "zip" means: sharp, fast, smooth and neat, specifically in reference to a man who is kitted out in uniform.
I doubt it was a mainstream term. Mr. Sharp/Smooth/Cool/Spiffy/Striking.
Matthew Laurence Zip also is an American slang term for "zero", so I've always thought this was referring to men in the military being assigned identification numbers, which by World War I was probably more important than in the previous wars. Thus in the Army a man was more likely to be known by his number (Mr. Zip Zip Zip) than his name.
hebneh Ah! That explains why a Postal Code is called a Zip Code in the U.S., which is always confusing us non-Americans.
"Does the zip on your jacket need a code?"
That is a good explanation.
Matthew Laurence Well, in the case of the Zip codes, the word was used to denote quickness, as in your first theory. Zip codes would make the mail be delivered more quickly. But the letters ZIP also were abbreviations for something which I no longer remember - the Z was for "zone", for one thing. Zip codes replaced zone numbers which were either one or two digits and were used after the name of the city.
Also, in the USA, the fastener is called a "zipper", not just a "zip", so there was no confusion between the two terms.

Nothing like the Columbia Grafonola. Where you can't open the reproducer after the gasket dries out.
Another brilliant video. . . .depicting the fashion of the time. . .doughboys in uniform. . .and reminiscent of the time when "Lions (the brave soldiers) were led by donkeys (officers)". Excellent editing. Thank you for uploading.

This is an "early bird's" song, the sort who naturally feel energetic rising at dawn. As a late riser, I can relate much better tom"Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning"! Its author, Irving Berlin, was a late riser drafted into the service. To get out of early rising and marching drills he wrote music to raise troop morale. My mother, an early bird, used to sing both songs.
So... Arthur Fields was American, but this is about the Middle Eastern theater... How am I going to make sense of this?
Fatima and Camels were famous brands of cigarettes oft smoked by American Doughboys on the French front, Fatimas coming from Turkey manufacturing trade and Camels from the US
@@mooveover5758 Oooooooooh... it's not about literal camels and fraternizing with Turkish girls.
Dunno, kind of takes away from the fun.
@@absinthefandubs9130 Yeah, I was disappointed too. But everyone has to grow up sometime; like learning that strippers don't actually twirl on poles.
I know I have that 78 around somewhere, dammit!
Making a UA-cam Video about a German Infantry Squad called George Squad and I thought it would be funny to use American Music as the Intro
I'm here for Foxhole inspiration, playing the game of course, and it's interesting to hear this.
This isn't really a "patriotic" song, this is a "hey you have the same hair as me" song.

Creepy how his eyes move. Just noticed that when I was staring intently at the image. Freaked me out.

Me and the boys rotting alive in the flooded trenches while getting rained on by German artillery
Fatimas. !!! Cigarettes !
Can i get a flyby over Bakersfield
Tom Waits brought me here
this was a song that our soldiers also sang to the germans before the death toll began adding up.. americans didn't even recieve(after killing men who might've been distant relatives and WERE brothers in mankind0 the original payment for enlisting of a measley:$900. but they protested and fought the American govt. for it until the late 1950s to help with the effects of trauma .unforget them strongly both sides fought bothsides lost....the opposite (in a way of the next war with world
_"If the Camels don't get you, the Fatimas must."_
I forgot what Fatimas were, cigarettes !!!
They weren't writing catchy tunes like this in the Vietnam era, only anti-war rock or folk-rock.
I liked the country joe and the fish Vietnam song. We still trusted our leaders in ww one until they served this tune with mustard..lol
It's not exactly pro-war. It would be years before the stories about the armistice to the war having been delayed because of greedy generals, became college reading, for the very generation that was to serve in Vietnam.

Perhaps through this music you can look back to a time when there was a brief, yet promising friendship between the west and the Arabs. It’s a shame that never panned out and King Faisal was betrayed.
Why does he look at that cigarette with regret and shame

Yes, I did. But I like that colored pencil sketching of portraits with that cross hatch drawing style. What happened to drawing fresh, American Boys like that great epoch-alyptic time. When stupid England declared war on the germans for bombing a couple of cows in the countryside. It's no wonder that pink floyd recorded "animals"
Imperial England just wanted to help the selves to corporate culture as modern as they could be, when colonialization wasn8't being handled fairly. And they punished the Muslims of northeast Africa. The British working class men and all men weren't made into heros, but used as fodder just like all the men of the world and the military tried to say sorry for the killing with ARMISTICE DAY. but the Republicans and Torrie hate that holiday!!!
