Who tied up the Nazis in knots?

Who fired, and who took the most shots?

Who smashed the most tanks?

(It wasnโ€™t the Yanks)

No, it was the Russians you clots!

Our tank, it did not have a flaw,

But we donโ€™t have to think any more,

About whom we will fight,

What is wrong, what is right;

We just follow the Yanks into war.

Some Lama is now in the news.

It seems that he has some loose screws.

He did what? I see!

Well sonny if he

Says โ€œSuck on my tongue!โ€ Just refuse.

The latest theory has been hatched,

Of how the pipeline was despatched:

That to keep the Krauts cold

Those damned Russians, weโ€™re told,

Sent a whale with explosives attached.

Confused by the spin and the lies?

Youโ€™ll find Occamโ€™s Razor applies:

Look at motive and means.

Look at who spilled the beans.

Then itโ€™s simple: the Yanks did it guys.

โ€œI can turn off those valvesโ€ Putin said,

โ€œSo no gas to the Germans is fed.

Itโ€™s the simplest of jobs โ€”

Just a twist of some knobs;

But Iโ€™ll blow up our pipeline instead.โ€

Goodbye, have her faithful fans kissed her.

Sheโ€™d bit off far more

Than her impressive jaw

Could chew โ€” so adieu communista.
