Stalin Wasn't Stallin' Lyrics
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the landSo he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and his vermin
This is how it all beganNow the devil, he was readin'
In the good book one day
How that lord created Adam
To walk the righteous wayAnd it made the devil jealous
He turned green up to his horns
And he swore by all things unholy
That he'd make one of his ownSo he packed two suitcases
Full of greed and misery
And he caught the midnight special
Going down to GermanyThen he mixed his lies and hatred
With fire and brim stone
Then the devil sat upon it
That's how Adolf was bornNow Adolf got the notion
That he was the master race
And he swore he'd bring new order
And put mankind in its placeSo he set his scheme in motion
And was winnin' everywhere
Until he up and got the notion
For to kick that Russian bearStalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the landSo he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and his vermin
This is how it all beganYes, he kicked that noble Russian
But it wasn't very long
Before Adolf got suspicious
That he had done somethin' wrong'Cause that bear grabbed the fuhrer
And gave him an awful fight
Seventeen months he grabbed the fuhrer
Tooth and claws, day and nightThen that bear smacked the fuhrer
With a mighty armored paw
And Adolf broke all records
Runnin' backwards to KrakowThen Goebbels sent a message
To the people everywhere
That if they couldn't hit the fuhrer
God, don't hit that Russian bearStalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the landSo he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and its vermin
This is how it all beganThen this bear called on his buddy
The noble fighting yank
And they sent the fuhrer runnin'
With their ships and planes and tanksNow the fuhrer's havin' nightmares
'Cause the fuhrer knows darn well
That the devil's done roast welcome
On his residence in hellStalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the landSo he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and his vermin
This is how it all began
