Don't Let's Be Beastly to the Germans - Noel Coward[00:00:00]
Don't let's be beastly to the germans[00:00:07]
When our victory is ultimately won[00:00:11]
It was just those nasty nazis[00:00:15]
Who persuaded them to fight[00:00:17]
And their beethoven and bach are[00:00:18]
Really far worse than their bite[00:00:20]
Let's be meek to them[00:00:22]
And turn the other cheek to them[00:00:24]
And try to bring out their latent sense of fun[00:00:26]
Let's give them full air parity[00:00:29]
And treat the rats with charity[00:00:31]
But don't let's be beastly to the hun[00:00:33]
We must be kind[00:00:37]
And with an open mind[00:00:39]
We must endeavour to find a way[00:00:41]
To let the germans know that when the war is over[00:00:44]
They are not the ones who'll have to pay[00:00:48]
We must be sweet and tactful and discreet[00:00:52]
And when they've suffered defeat[00:00:56]
We mustn't let them feel upset or ever get[00:00:57]
The feeling that we're cross with them or hate them[00:01:00]
Our future policy must be to reinstate them[00:01:04]
Don't let's be beastly to the germans[00:01:07]
When we've definately got them on the run[00:01:10]
Let us treat them very kindly[00:01:14]
As we would a valued friend[00:01:16]
We might send them out some bishops[00:01:18]
As a form of lease and lend[00:01:20]
Let's be sweet to them and day by day repeat to them[00:01:22]
That sterilization simply isn't done[00:01:25]
Let's help the dirty swine again[00:01:29]
To occupy the rhine again[00:01:31]
But don't let's be beastly to the hun[00:01:33]
We must be just[00:01:37]
And win their love and trust[00:01:39]
And in additon we must be wise[00:01:41]
And ask the conquered lands to[00:01:44]
Join our hands to aid them[00:01:45]
That would be a wonderful surprise[00:01:48]
For many years[00:01:52]
They've been in floods of tears[00:01:54]
Because the poor little dears[00:01:56]
Have been so wronged and only longed[00:01:57]
To cheat the world deplete the world and beat[00:01:59]
The world to blazes[00:02:01]
This is the moment[00:02:03]
When we ought to sing their praises[00:02:04]
Don't let's be beastly to the germans[00:02:06]
For you can't deprive a ganster of his gun[00:02:10]
Though they've been a little naughty[00:02:14]
To the czechs and poles and dutch[00:02:16]
But I don't suppose those countries[00:02:18]
Really minded very much[00:02:19]
Let's be free with them[00:02:21]
And share the bbc with them[00:02:23]
We mustn't prevent them basking in the sun[00:02:25]
Let's soften their defeat again[00:02:29]
And build their bloody fleet again[00:02:31]
But don't let's be beastly to the hun[00:02:32]
Don't let's be beastly to the germans[00:02:36]
When the age of peace and plenty has begun[00:02:40]
We must send them steel and oil[00:02:43]
And coal and everything they need[00:02:45]
For their peaceable intentions[00:02:47]
Can be always guaranteed[00:02:49]
Let's employ with them a sort of strength[00:02:51]
Through joy with them[00:02:54]
They're better than us at honest manly fun[00:02:55]
Let's let them feel they're swell again[00:02:59]
And bomb us all to hell again[00:03:01]
But don't let's be beastly to the hun[00:03:03]
