"Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler"

Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler
If You Think We're On The Run?
We Are The Boys Who Will Stop Your Little Game
We Are The Boys Who Will Make You Think Again
'Cause Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler
If You Think Old England's Done?

Mr Brown Goes Off To Town
On The Eight Twenty-One
But He Comes Home Each Evening
And He's Ready With His Gun

(So Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler
If You Think Old England's Done?)

So Watch Out Mr Hitler
You Have Met Your Match In Us
If You Think You Can Crush Us
We're Afraid You've Missed The Bus
'Cause Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler
If You Think Old England's Done?

For the many of you too young to have heard of them, Bud Flannagan was in a Group of singers/comedians/actors known as 'The Crazy Gang back in the 1950's. They were truly great in their time and even though I was a child at the time, I liked watching them.
