lyrics

Wakey-wakey - time for a shower
No crunchy Kellogs - the crystal's here
Stripey pyjamas are out of fashion
Bag-boney nuddy - now get in line

We're on the road to milk and honey
With bars of soaps and baldy heads
Tushy-pegless we face the future
Tattooed arm in tattooed arm

Who put the lie?

Screechy-scratchy - manna from heaven
Sprinkles like sugar through the grate
Deep inspiration - we breathe the future
Our heads are lampshades, but where's the light

Who put the lie?

But this is not a dream
With strawberries and cream
A shindig in the shade
With schnapps and lemonade
Our bellies are on fire
Our nerves are copper-wire
Our only wherewithal
A jackboot in the balls

They came and wrecked out homes
Put numbers on our arms
Then shipped us here in droves
Set fire to our clothes
They said we were profane
And had to be contained
The logic of the schwein
A non-production line

So nighty-night, my little treasures
This master race is a disgrace
Reduce the world to lines and numbers
You take the texture from the grain
Who put the lie
In Zyklon-B?
