Mr Hitler

Hitler started out in nineteen hundred and thirty two
Hitler started out in nineteen hundred and thirty two
When he started out, he took the homes from the Jews
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down someday.
When Hitler started out, he took the Jews from their homes
When Hitler started out, he took the Jews from their homes
That's one thing Mr. Hitler you know you done wrong.
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down someday.
You ain't no iron, you ain't no solid rock
You ain't no iron, you ain't no solid rock
but we American people say "Mr. Hitler is got to stop!"
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down someday.
We're gonna bring him to the ground
We're gonna bring him to the ground
We're gonna bring him to the ground someday.
Mr. Hitler we're gonna tear your playhouse down
Mr. Hitler we're gonna tear your playhouse down
you been flyin' mighty high, but you're on your last go round.
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down someday.
We're gonna bring him to the ground
We're gonna bring him to the ground
We're gonna bring him to the ground someday.
Mr. Hitler, you know you ain't so keen
Mr. Hitler, you know you ain't so keen
But we American people say you're the biggest liar they ever seen.
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down
We're gonna tear Hitler down someday.
We're gonna bring him to the ground
We're gonna bring him to the ground
We're gonna bring him to the ground someday.
