You, Gum Shan Ding!
You were born without conscience!

You spent a thousand dollars,
Appropriating to yourself
A strange father,
So willing you are to forget
The place where you were born.

When you are on the golden shore of America
You are without worry,
No longer being poor.
Your chief concern
Is to manage with all your wealth.

Don't talk about China!
" I am a rich merchant.
No more " fatherland"!
I am an American citizen. "
Yet there are worries.
That is too bad.
Face not so white,
Nose not so high.
When I pass by
All men call me,
" Chinaman! " " Chinaman! "

You, Gum Shan Ding!
You are worth no more than a penny!
You spend three dollars for a banquet ticket,
Ten dollars for railroad fare,
Just to bid farewell
To a big general,
Or the nation's ambassador.
Do you know what they are in China?
They are beasts,
Consuming the blood of the toilers.
They become bloated and fat;
They murder the workers.
They are satiated.
Now they come to America,
Just for sport and play!
Why give them a feast
Instead of blows?

You Gum Shan Dnig!
You have no brains!
It was Yuang Shi-Kai
Who invented the " Chinese Liberty Bond " .
Ten years have passed.
This system is still in vogue
To kill the workers.
This in these generals' mouths is sweet,
In their hearts a cruel dagger.
You are looking for saviours —
But these are traitors.
Liberty Bonds?
Better throw your money into the water,
For there at least,
It will make a musical sound.
Have you a brain?
Use it!

You, Gum Shan Ding!
Be not angry nor sorry.
Pardon the sarcasm.
You are not alone.
All of us are fools,
All except, of course,
Those traitors and mercenary generals!
We are fools all the time!
Fools! Fools! Fools!
Oh, you fools, awake!
Become as a spike,
Kill all who are not fools!
