The Lyrics

Forgot this yesterday: Foreign Correspondent
He tries to tell the truth
About the Schwein.
But first, no one is listenin’ to
All his cryin’
’bout man who’s lyin’.

It’s his girlfriend’s daddy
Who’s runnin’ around
With a bunch of Nazis
In a rancid, nasty underground
Band of foul fellows who
Are quite malign,
The swine!

Guy tries to
Tell what’s true;
They eschew
And poo-poo what’s avowed.

Up in the air. . .
The plane hits the sea;
The bad dad’s drowned.

Now hear this:
That Nazi hellhound crew’s
Gone past the Rhine.
