Don't Let's Be Beastly To The Germans - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Leslie Douglas[00:00:00]
Don't let's be beastly to the Germans[00:00:07]
Now our victory is ultimately won[00:00:11]
It was just those nasty Nazis who persuaded them to fight[00:00:15]
And their Beethoven and Bach are really far worse than their bite[00:00:19]
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[00:00:30]
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[00:00:44]
That now the war is over[00:00:46]
They are not the ones who have to pay[00:00:48]
We must be sweet[00:00:53]
And tactful and discreet[00:00:54]
And now they've suffered defeat[00:00:56]
We mustn't let[00:00:58]
Them feel upset[00:00:59]
Or ever get the feeling[00:00:59]
That we're cross with them or hate them[00:01:01]
Our future policy must be to reinstate them[00:01:04]
Don't let's be beastuly to the Germans[00:01:07]
When we've definitely got them on the run[00:01:11]
Let us treat them very kindly as we would a valued friend[00:01:14]
We might send them out some Bishops as a form of lease and lend[00:01:18]
Let's be sweet to them[00:01:22]
And day by day repeat to them[00:01:24]
That 'sterilization' simply isn't done[00:01:26]
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[00:01:38]
And win their love and trust[00:01:39]
And in additon we must[00:01:41]
Be wise[00:01:42]
And ask the conquered lands to join our hands to aid them[00:01:44]
That would be a wonderful surprise[00:01:49]
For many years[00:01:53]
They've been in floods of tears[00:01:54]
Because the poor little dears[00:01:57]
Have been so wronged and only longed[00:01:58]
To cheat the world[00:02:00]
Deplete the world[00:02:01]
And beat[00:02:02]
The world to blazes[00:02:02]
This is the moment when we ought to sing their praises[00:02:04]
Don't let's be beastly to the Germans[00:02:07]
For you can't deprive a ganster of his gun[00:02:11]
Though they've been a little naughty to the Czechs and Poles and Dutch[00:02:15]
But I don't suppose those countries really minded very much[00:02:19]
Let's be free with them and share the B B C with them[00:02:22]
We mustn't prevent them basking in the sun[00:02:26]
Let's soften their defeat again and build their bloody fleet again[00:02:30]
But don't let's be beastly to the Hun[00:02:33]
Don't let's be beastly to the Germans[00:02:37]
When the age of peace and plenty has begun[00:02:41]
We must send them steel and oil and coal and everything they need[00:02:44]
For their peaceable intentions can be always guaranteed[00:02:48]
Let's employ with them a sort of strength through joy with them[00:02:52]
They're better than us at honest manly fun[00:02:56]
Let's let them feel they're swell again and bomb us all to hell again[00:03:00]
But don't let's be beastly to the Hun[00:03:04]
