Robert Wyatt - 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 reading 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 up to his horns 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 brimstone 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 a scheme in motion and was winning everywhere until he up 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 something wrong Cause that bear grabbed the Fuhrer and gave him an awful fright seventeen months he scrapped the Fuhrer tooth and claw, day and night Then that bear smacked the Fuhrer with a mighty armored paw and Adolf broke all records running backwards towards Krakaw Then Goebbels sent a message to the people everywhere that if they couldn't hit the Fuhrer Go down 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 running with their ships and planes and tanks Now the Fuhrer's having nightmares cause the Fuhrer knows damn well that the Devil's done wrote "Welcome" on his residence in Hell
