Forty Odd Years Ago

(album: Horror Epics - 1985)

Mussolini was a fascist pig
Hitler was no better
Tojo was an imperialistic nip
But Stalin managed to go one better

Forty odd years ago
Forty odd years ago
Before you and I were born

Chamberlain was our man of peace
But was fooled by a piece of paper
Churchill warned him long ago
He vowed to halt Hitler's caper

Forty odd years ago
Forty odd years ago
Before you and I were born

Mussolini was a fascist pig
Hitler was no better
Tojo was an imperialistic nip
But Stalin managed to go one better

Forty odd years ago
Forty odd years ago
Before you and I were born

Chamberlain was our man of peace
But was fooled by a piece of paper
Churchill warned him long ago
He vowed to halt Hitler's caper

Forty odd years ago
Forty odd years ago
Before you and I were born
