Springtime for Hitler
(Melvin Brooks)
(Based upon my recollection of the 1968 film version, words taken from another site)
Introduction
C (instruments playing (C-G-A-B) x 3 then C-E (story)
Germany was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
D (instruments playing (D-A-B-C#) x 3 then D-F# (glory)
Needed a new leader to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me
And now it's...
