[Verse 1: Pete Seeger]
Now I wished I had a bushel
Wished I had a peck
Wished I had old Hitler
With a rope around his neck
[Chorus: The Almanac Singers]
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
[Verse 2: Pete Seeger]
Mussolini won't last long
Tell you the reason why
We're gonna salt his beef
And hang it up to dry
[Chorus: The Almanac Singers]
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
[Verse 3: Pete Seeger]
The German army general staff
I guess they missed connection
Went a hundred miles a day
But in the wrong direction
[Chorus: The Almanac Singers]
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
[Verse 4: Pete Seeger]
I'm goin' to Berlin
To Mister Hitler's town
I'm gonna take my forty-four
And blow his playhouse down
[Chorus: The Almanac Singers]
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
[Verse 5: Pete Seeger]
How Hitler went to Russia
In search of Russian oil
But the only oil he'll find there
Is a pot in which he'll boil
[Chorus: The Almanac Singers]
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
[Verse 6: Pete Seeger]
Now Mister Hitler's traveling mighty fast
But he's on a one-way track
Started down that Moscow road
But now he's coming back
[Chorus: The Almanac Singers]
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
Hey! 'Round, 'round Hitler's grave
'Round, 'round we go
Gonna lay that poor boy down
He won't get up no more
