War is raging in Europe on the water, land, and in the air
War is raging in Europe on the water, land, and in the air
If Uncle Sammy don't be careful, we'll all soon end up right back over there

Radios and newspapers, they all force me to believe
The Radios and newspapers, they all make me believe
Yeah, Hitler, Mussolini, they must have a snatchin' disease

Ain't gonna be no peace in Europe, 'till we cut off Hitler's head
Ain't gonna be no peace in Europe, 'till we chop off Hitler's head
Mussolini have heart failure, when he hear Stalin is dead

I hope Hitler catch consumption*, I mean the galloping kind
Yes, I hope Hitler catch consumption*, I mean the galloping kind
Stalin catch leprosy, Mussolini lose his mind

This whole war would soon be over, if Uncle Sam would use my plan
This whole war would soon be over, if Uncle Sam would use my plan
Let me sneak in Hitler's bedroom with my razor in my hand
