Two Little Hitlers (from the album *Armed Forces*)

A E

Why are we racing to be so old?

A E

I'm up late pacing the floor I won't be told

A E D

You have your reservations I'm bought and sold

D

I'll face the music I'll face the facts

E

Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks

A E

Bowing and squawking Running after titbits

A E7

Bobbing and squinting Just like a nitwit

(CHORUS)

D

Two little Hitlers will fight it out until

E A

One little Hitler does the other one's will

D E D E

I will return I will not burn

Down in the basement

A E

I need my head examined I need my eyes excited

A E7

I'd like to join the party But I was not invited

A E7

You make a member of me I'll be delighted

D

I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown

E

Dirty words for dirty minds Written in a toilet town

A E7

Dial me a Valentine She's a smooth operator

A E7

It's all so calculated She's got a calculator

A E7

She's my soft touch typewriter And I'm the great dictator

(Chorus)

A

A simple game of self-respect

E A

You flick a switch and the world goes off

E A

Nobody jumps as you expect

E F#m E

I would have thought you would have had enough by now

A E7

You call selective dating For some effective mating

A E7

I thought I'd let you down, dear But you were just deflating

A E7

I knew right from the start We'd end up hating

D

Pictures of the merchandise Plastered on the wall

E

We can look so long as we don't have to talk at all

A E7

You say you'll never know him He's an unnatural man

A A

He doesn't want your pleasure He wants as no one can

A E7

He wants to know the names of All those he's better than

(Chorus)

D E

I will return

D E

I will not burn . . . . .
