Hit-ler has only got one ball;
Goering has two but they are small;
Himm-ler is very sim-ler;
And Goebbels has no balls at all!

I have a whole book full of military songs with a range of
raunchiness... "Songs From the Front and Rear"

Another in that vein is "Kiss me Good Night Sergeant-Major" - when I
went to grad school I sold off a bunch of history and wargames stuff
and always regretted getting rid of that one. So nearly 10 years ago I
found it on an Aussie bookseller's site, ordered it and am still
getting ads from them to this day (I'm in Canada).

There was a time when I memorized Spike Milligan's "Der Fuehrer's
Face"

By Anthony Hopkins (no, not that Anthony Hopkins) ISBN 10: 0888301715 ISBN
13: 9780888301710. I got it for Christmas in 1979 and my father inscribed it
to me with the injunction, "Don't miss page 187".

They are not that rare. Sphere produced two paperbacks of
"Rugby songs" in the 1960s, Hurtig (Canada) published the
remarkable "Songs from the Front and Rear" in 1979 and
I'd bet the Internet houses quite a few.

Don't think "Rugby Songs" (which were passed around in my high school
class 40 years ago) is particularly WW2 related.

By the way "Der Fuehrer's Face" was Spike Jones not Spike Milligan.

Memories of both rugby and RAF service in the 1950s confirm the
two repertoires overlapped by more than 50 pct.

The lyrics I most remember was the one about "Lagos Lagoon" about a
major bender involving a whole squadron of pilots who due to their
antics in the song got a new ID code: "VD"...

"I'm a cranky old Yank in a clankety old tank on the
streets of Yokahama with my Honolulu mama doin' the
beat-o beat-o flat on my seat-o Hiroito blues"
and that is just the title.

A latrine from the 5th century BC was recently excavated in Athens. On
one of the walls was written --

"Here's to Xerxes, that son of a bitch
May his balls be infected with the seven year itch"

etc, etc, etc.

We are used to recognizing as the first known record of writing
Babylonian tax-gatherers' records (rather than poetry or prayers;)
so this Athenian grafitto might be the equivalent prototype of the
Internet.

Somehow, I doubt it rhymed in archaic Greek.
