Robert Wyatt - Stalin Wasn't Stallin' lyrics

rate me

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 it's 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 it's 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 it's 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 it's 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 darn 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 it's vermin

This is how it all began
