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 land
So he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and its vermin
This is how it all began
Now the devil, he was readin'
In the good book one day
How that lord created Adam
To walk the righteous way
And it made the devil jealous
He turned green onto his [?]
And he swore by things unholy
And he made one of his own
So he packed two suitcases
Full of greed and misery
And he caught the midnight special
Going down to Germany
Then he mixed his lies and hatred
With fire and grim stones
Then the devil sat upon it
That's how Adolf was born
Now Adolf got the notion
That he was the master race
And he swore he'd bring new order
And put mankind in its place
So he set his scheme in motion
And was winnin' everywhere
Until he [?] and got the notion
For to kick that Russian bear
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and its vermin
This is how it all began
Yes, 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 night
Then that bear smacked the fuhrer
With a mighty armored core
And Adolf broke all records
Runnin' backwards to Krakow
Then Goebbels sent a message
To the people everywhere
That if they couldn't hit the fuhrer
God, then hit that Russian bear
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and its vermin
This is how it all began
Then this bear called on his buddy
The noble fighting yank
And they sent the fuhrer runnin'
With their ships and planes and tanks
Now the fuhrer's havin' nightmares
Cause the fuhrer knows damn well
That the devil's done roast welcome
On his residence in hell
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and its vermin
This is how it all began
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
And proceeded to extinguish
The fuhrer and its vermin
This is how it all began
In the good book one day
How that lord created Adam
To walk the righteous way
He turned green onto his [?]
And he swore by things unholy
And he made one of his own
Full of greed and misery
And he caught the midnight special
Going down to Germany
With fire and grim stones
Then the devil sat upon it
That's how Adolf was born
That he was the master race
And he swore he'd bring new order
And put mankind in its place
And was winnin' everywhere
Until he [?] and got the notion
For to kick that Russian bear
When he told the beast of Berlin

Till they had driven him from the land
