Thread Name: Req: Another WW II song: My country's mean to me
Subject: Another WW II song:
Does anyone recall this? An unimportant (but guaranteed Traditional) song from World War II

My country's mean to me
I come from Germany!
My name is Fritz!
I like my sauerkraut,
It makes my ears turn out . . . .

[That's all I recall.] Sung to the tune of God Save the Queen. I guess this is an anti-German song, but not so scurrilous as many. Anyone remember any more? (Time and provenance are about the same as for Little Moron jokes; E.g. Q. "Why did the little moron bury his wife under the house?" A. "Because he wanted to play, 'I'm Walking the Floor over You'!")
