"It's a Long Way to Tipperary" was popular tune favored by British soldiers in the trenches of WWI. In 1917 *The New York Tribune* would feature a short article discussing the tune falling out of favor and being replaced by the song, "That's Mr. Riley," a reworking of the tune under the title "Are You the O'Reilly" was published in response to this new interest and featured the article on its cover. The chorus of "Why Not Sing Wearin' of the Green" states, "They show they like an Irish tune, I know they'll want another soon," which they certainly did, but unfortunately for the authors, they didn't want this tune nor the original song being referenced, "The Wearing of the Green," a street ballad about the 1798 Irish Rebellion. An interesting example of the pop culture surrounding the first World War. *OCLC* locates two holdings.

A song expressing sympathy for the Irish people, with the opening lines stating, "I've been reading all the papers, just to find out what they say/And I think it's shockin' the way they're knockin' the Irish every day." *OCLC* locates three holdings and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade.
