*Twas Danzig, and the Swastikoves Did Heil and hittle in the Reich, All Nazi were the lindengroves And the neuraths judestreich., "Beware the Grabberwock, my son, The plans that spawn, and plots that hatch, Beware the Jewjew bird and shun The Fuhrious Bundensnatch!" He took his aryan horde in hand,. Long time the Gestapo he taught, Then rested he by the Baltic Sea And stood awhile in thought. And as a Polish oath they swore The Grabberwock with lies aflame Came goering down the corridor And goebbelled as it came. Ein, zwei! ein, zwei, one in the eye For Polska folk alas, alack, He left them dead, and as their head He came meinkampfing back. " And hast thou ta’en thy lebensraum, Come to my arms my rhenish boy! Oh grabjous day! Sieg heil, begay!" He strengtheneth in his joy. ’Twas Danzig and the Swastikoves Did heil and hittle in the Reich, All Nazi were the lindengroves: And the neuraths judestreich.
