Subject: Lyr Add: HITLER WAS A VEGETARIAN (Joel Mabus)
Alex mentioned this song on 19 Nov 98, and it may be the same song that northfolk mentioned on 16 Nov 98:


HITLER WAS A VEGETARIAN
As recorded by Joel Mabus on “The Naked Truth,” 1988.

Oh, your soybean burger just don’t hit the spot tonight.
Darlin’, somehow those tofu tacos just don’t seem quite right,
And I’m thinkin’ as you dish me up your special seaweed stew,
Darlin’, Hitler was a vegetarian too. (It’s true!)

Hitler was a vegetarian, don’t you know?
He also was an anti-smoker, militantly so.
Forgive me if I slip downtown for a plate of barbecue,
But, darlin’, Hitler was a vegetarian too.

Remember when you told me we were what we ate.
Well, I thought about that, darlin’; I’d rather be an animal than slowly vegetate.
So next time you skin potatoes, then you gouge their little eyes,
Remember this before you start to start to sermonize:

Hitler was a vegetarian, don’t you know?
He also was an anti-smoker, militantly so.
Forgive me if I slip downtown for a Coney dog or two,
But, darlin’, Hitler was a vegetarian too.
