1942 Turkey In The Straw

歌詞

Oh Adolf Hiter grabbed a tail He hung right on with tooth and nail When he saw what he had then he began to swear On the end of that tail was a Russian bear The old bear growled and started him to shake Adolf knew he'd made a mistake He tried to hang on then he tried to let go Now they have a new dance called "Hitler in the snow" Oh I saw Mussolini sitting on a log All puffed up like a great big frog I sneaked up close and stuck him with a wire He just went "pffft" like an old flat tire I took his hide and hung it on a tree The tree said, "Hey, don't do that to me" So I took it on home to my mother-in-law She threw me outside with the turkey in the straw Oh a monkey and a baboon sittin' on a rail Feeling mighty bad and looking kind of pale A little yellow rat comes sneaking 'round the weed The monkey said, "Look, there's the guy we need" The rat climbed up and they all begin to grin Long timer fella with whiskers on his chin He kicked that rail and he broke it with a crack And that was the last of the three-power pact Oh the frost is on the pumpkin and the potter's in the shop And the Yanks are a moving and they pack an awful sock The sheep are in the meadow and the cows are in the corn There's gonna be a scrap just as sure as you're born Soldiers, sailors, pilots, marines Tall ones, short ones, lots of in-betweens Powder in their gun and sand in their craw Stepping to the tune of "Turkey In The Straw" Oh swing your partner, here we go To Berlin, Rome, and Tokyo We'll put'em in a sack and give it a swish Throw'em in the river and kill all the fish Tie'em to a rope and give'em a swing Just like a monkey on the end of a swing Kick'em in the pants and sock'em in the jaw Teach'em how to dance ol' "Turkey In The Straw" Forehand's 'round and everybody shout Skunk in the woodpile, gotta chase him out Adolf Hiter bit off a chaw Jam it down his throat with "Turkey In The Straw"
