See the bombs a-fallin' Hear the blitzes callin' Goering! Oh, where is the luft- waffe? We ain't got no booties, All we got is cooties. Goebbels! Oh, typhus and black plague. Die wehrmacht! Die wehrmacht! A clickity-clack, and soon we'll be back. With the blues in Berlin. From Somelensk to Mozhaisk, From Kiev to Lubin, Wherever the panzers go. I've taken some big towns, And made me some big talk, But there is one thing I know, A Russian's a two-face, A worrisome thing, who leaves jou to sing The blues in Berlin.
