Stalin Wasn't Stallin'

Well now, Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land.
So we called the Yanks and English,
And proceeded to extinguish
Der Fuehrer and his vermin,
This is how it all began.

Now the devil was a-readin' in the good book one day,
How the Lord created Adam to walk the righteous way.
It made the devil jealous,
He turned green up to his horns,
And he swore by things unholy,
That he'd make one of his own.

So he packed his two suitcases full of grief and misery,
And he caught the midnight special going down to Germany.
Then he mixed his lies and hatred with fire and brimstone,
The the devil sat upon it,
That's how Adolf was born.

Now Adolf got the notion that he was the master race.
And he swore to bring new honor and put mankind in its place.
So he set his plans in motion and was winning ev'rewhere,
'Til he up and got the notion
for to kick that Russian Bear.

Yes, he kicked that noble Russian, but it wasn't very long,
Before Adolf got suspicious that he had done something wrong.
'Cause that Bear grabbed the Fuehrer and gave him an awful fight,
Seventeen months he scrapped the Fuehrer,
Tooth and claw, day and night.

Then that Bear smacked the Fuehrer with a mighty armored paw,
And Adolf broke all recods running backwards to Kharkov.
then Goebbels sent a message to the people ev'rywhere,
That if they couldn't help the Fuehrer,
God don't help that Russian Bear.

Then this Bear called on his buddy the noble fighting Yank,
and they sent the Fuehrer running with his ships and planes and tanks.
Now the Fuehrer's having nightmares 'cause Der Fuehrer knows darned well,
That the devil's done wrote "Welcome" on his residence in [Hell].

Well now, Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land.
So we called the Yanks and English,
And proceeded to extinguish
Der Fuehrer and his vermin,
This is how it all began.
