HITLER AND THE DEVIL
(By Forrest Jones)
The devil in hell
We are told was chained
And there 100,000
Years he remained.
He did not grumble
Neither did he groan,
But was determined to start
Him a hell of his own.
Hitler said to the devil
Have you any more land?
And the devil said, yes plenty
In Germany and some more in Ja
pan.
Then old Hitler went down and
Looked at the truck
And said if I can get it
As a gift I am stuck.
Then the trade was made
And the deed was signed.
And he started him a hell
On the banks of the Rhine.
Then Hitler and Tojo
Appeared on the scene
And the devil said I’m afraid
You boys are too mean.
Then Field Marshal Goering
Spoke up and said
We can conquer this world
If we will go right ahead.
Then Hitler and Goering
Began to prepare
For World War No. 2
On land, sea and_ air.
He first took Austria
Without the fire of a gun,
And when he hit Poland
The trouble had begun.
Then the civilised world
Began to unite,
For we had our choice
To be enslaved or fight.
Then Belgium and France
Were soon overrun,
And by this time
The trouble had really begun.
And the English canal
Was the next point of attack
And this was the first time
Hitler’s bloodhounds turned back.
Then he turned like a snake ,
And began to coll
And struck and landed
On Russian soil.
At first Stalin’s army
Really reeled on tnelr feet
Then they came hark afightuig
Through rain snow and sleet.
Napoleon once made
The same mistake,
When he rattled his sword
On Russia's front gate.
Now Stalin knows
That Hitler can't win
And Italy's troubles
Are about to begin.
Now the United Slates
And the United Nations
Are all lined up
In the same occupations.
And that occupation has
A blueprint plan
That will stop Hitler's '•ill
Ami mop up Tojo's Japan.
I am neither a prophet
Nor a prophet's son,
But l have tried to keep posted
Since the war first begun
I don't know the future
