Two Little Hitlers |
| Why are we racing to be so old? |
| I’m up late pacing the floor, I won’t be told |
| You have your reservations, I’m bought and sold |
| I’ll face the music, I’ll face the facts |
| Even when we walk in polka dots and checkered slacks |
| Bowing and squatting, running after tidbits |
| Bobbing and squinting just like a nitwit |
| Two little Hitlers will fight it out until |
| One little Hitler does the other one’s will |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| Down in the basement |
| I need my head examined, I need my eyes excited |
| I’d like to join the party but I was not invited |
| You make a member of me, I’ll be delighted |
| I wouldn’t cry for lost souls you might drown |
| Dirty words for dirty minds written in a toilet town |
| Dial me a valentine, she’s a smooth operator |
| It’s all so calculated, she’s got a calculator |
| She’s my soft-touch typewriter and I’m the great dictator |
| Two little Hitlers will fight it out until |
| One little Hitler does the other one’s will |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| A simple game of self-respect |
| You flick the switch and the world goes out |
| Nobody jumps as you expect |
| I would have thought you would have had enough by now |
| You call selective dating for some effective mating |
| I thought I’d let you down dear, but you were just deflated |
| I knew right from the start, we’d end up hating |
| Pictures of the merchandise plastered on the wall |
| We can look so long as we don’t have to talk at all |
| You say you’ll never know him, he’s not a natural man |
| He doesn’t want your pleasure, he wants as no one can |
| He wants to know the names of all those he’s better than |
| Two little Hitlers will fight it out until |
| One little Hitler does the other one’s will |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return, I will not burn |
| I will return… |
