ADOLF
Words and music by Annette Mills, ©1939.
As recorded by Ambrose and His Orchestra, with vocalist Sam Browne.

1. A certain German chancellor has lost his head.
He's going to get a headache somewhere else instead,
And he will be retiring very soon,
To join a certain Kaiser down in doom(?).

CHORUS: Adolf, you've bitten off much more than you can chew.
Come on; hold your hand out; we're all fed up with you. (Gor blimey!)
Adolf, you toddle off, and all your Nazis, too,
Or you may get something to remind you of the old red, white and blue.

2. We're sick of all the muddle and the mess you've made.
You've gone and stuck your fingers in the marmalade,
So now you're going to get a big surprise.
You're nothing but a basket full of lies. CHORUS

[I transcribed this song from Spotify, where it is found on 2 albums: "Sounds of the Big Bands Vol. 1" and "There'll Always Be an England: Great War Songs Vol. 3." The title I found there was ADOLPH but I have taken the liberty of correcting it to ADOLF. Apparently the spelling error was committed by either Spotify or the publisher of the CDs, and not by the songwriter or the publisher of the original sheet music or the 78-rpm record.]
