|
Don't let's be beastly to the Germans, |
|
Now our victory is ultimately won. |
|
Let us treat them very kindly, |
|
As we would a valued friend. |
|
We might them out some bishops, |
|
As a form of lease and lend. |
|
Let's be sweet to them |
|
And day by day repeat to them |
|
That sterilization simply isn't done. |
|
Let's sweetly sympathize again, |
|
And help the scum to rise again, |
|
But don't let's be beastly to the Hun. |
|
We must be kind |
|
And with an open mind, |
|
We must endeavour to find a way |
|
To let the Germans know |
|
That now the war is over, |
|
They are not the ones who have to pay. |
|
We must be sweet |
|
And tactful and discreet, |
|
And now they've suffered defeat, |
|
We mustn't let |
|
Them feel upset, |
|
Or ever get the feeling |
|
That we're cross with them or hate them. |
|
Our future policy must be to reinstate them. |
|
Don't let's be beastuly to the Germans, |
|
For they're civilized, |
|
When all is said and done. |
|
Though they gave us science, culture, art, and music, to excess, |
|
They also gave us two world wars and Dr. Rudolph Hess. |
|
Let's be meek to them |
|
And turn the other cheek to them, |
|
And try to arouse their latent sense of fun. |
|
Let's give them full air parity, |
|
And treat the rats with charity, |
|
But don't let's be beastly to the Hun! |
|
Don't let's be beastly to the Germans. |
|
You can't deprive a gangster of his gun! |
|
Though they've been a little naughty |
|
To the Czechs and Poles and Dutch, |
|
I can't believe those countries |
|
Really minded very much. |
|
Let's be free with them |
|
And share the BBC with them. |
|
We mustn't prevent them basking in the sun! |
|
Let's soften their defeat again, |
|
And build their bloody fleet again, |
|
But don't let's be beastly to the Hun! |
