Subject: Lyr Add: DER FÜHRER'S FACE (Oliver Wallace)
Hello all. It's not that important, but I cleaned up the lyrics a bit - fixed a couple mistakes, put in the German pronunciation and the umlauts. It's closer to what was sung originally. Also came up with a bit more info.

DER FÜHRER'S FACE

Written by Oliver Wallace
From the 1943 Oscar-winning animated short "Der Führer's Face" with Donald Duck.
Performed by Spike Jones & His City Slickers (recorded July 28, 1942)

The melody is a parody of the "Horst Wessell Lied," a Nazi anthem.

Note: Each "Heil! Heil!" is accompanied by what is variously called "the bird", "the raspberry", or "the Bronx cheer"

CHORUS
Ven der Führer says, "Ve ist der Master Race!"
Ve Heil! Heil! right in der Führer's face.
Not to love der Führer ist a great disgrace
So ve Heil! Heil! right in der Führer's face.

Ven Herr Göbbels says, "Ve own der Vorldt und space."
Ve Heil! Heil! right in Herr Göbbels' face.
Ven Herr Göering says, "Dey'll never bomb dis place!"
Ve Heil! Heil! right in Herr Göring's face.

Are ve not die supermen? Aryan pure supermen?
Ja ve ist die supermen! Super duper supermen.
Ist this Nutzi land so goot? Vould you leave it if you could?
Ja this Nutzi land is goot. Ve vould leave it if ve could.

Ve bring der Vorldt new order. Heil Hitler's Vorldt New Order.
Everyone of foreign race vill love der Führer's face
Ven ve bring to der Vorldt disorder.

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE

CHORUS (slows down on the last line)


By the way, Disney has quietly let the animated short disappear from any offical releases on TV or on video. Word has it that it is uncomfortable with the anti-Nazi propoganda that supposedly may upset Germans, or something.
