HITLER'S FUNERAL
(Nick Kenny / Abner Silver / Charles Kenny)


Don Baxter & His Orch. (vocal: Don Baxter) - 1942



 

Last night I had a dream that Schicklgruber passed away
Every nation in the world declared a holiday
They placed him in a pigpen, but the pigs all ran away
Yes, the pigs, the pigs refused to stay

What a grand procession, everyone was dressed in black
Hirohito carried Mussolini piggy-back
Everyone was crying, they were crying, "Don't come back!
Oh, we're glad you're dead, you rascal you"
 
Then they started playing leap frog
Everyone was feeling cozy
They played "Ring-Around-The-Rosie"
To Hitler's Funeral March
 
When they reached the graveyard it was such a joyful sight
"Hurry up and throw him in", they yelled with wild delight
The undertaker raised the lid and dropped it with a crash
Someone shaved off Hitler's trick moustache

There he lay, the leader of the so-called master race
He looked very lovely in his lavender and lace
Goering was the first to shovel dirt in Hitler's face
To throw dirt right in the Fuehrer's face
 
Then they started playing leap frog
Everyone was feeling cozy
They played "Ring-Around-The-Rosie"
To Hitler's Funeral March
 
People came from far and near to give a farewell "Heil"
Everyone was full of cheer and wore a happy smile
There never was a funeral where the people had such fun
A good time was had by everyone

Now, some said the Fuehrer spoke the truth and he wasn't bad
He left the Russians bloodless, that included Stalingrad
He left the War to Italy, and he did more than that
For he left the German people flat
 
Then they started playing leap frog
Everyone was feeling cozy
They played "Ring-Around-The-Rosie"
To Hitler's Funeral March
 
Heil!
