[Source: University of Missouri - Kansas City.http://library.umkc.edu/spec-col/ww2/1939/jive.htm#jive] I made a post just now on German propaganda warning and harrowing the Brits to come to the peace table because Germany was surrounded by non-threatening neutral countries which in effect were surrounding Great Britain. Of course when I posted it I immediately bumped into this piece of music, "Blitzkrieg Baby (You Can't Bomb Me)", by F. and D. Fisher. The ong is much like its title, a kind of a neutral song so far as where it stood on neutrality and Blitzkrieg, though it does imply that if the Germans did attack that whoever it was would not be neutral, though that woul dbe stating the obvious. Anyway, it is an interesting find to me, and the performance is first class: greats Lester Young on sax and Una Mae Carlisle singing make this high, um, calibre.
(Chorus)
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
'Cause I'm pleading neutrality
Got my gun, now can't you see
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
Blitzkrieg baby, you look so cute
All dressed up in your parachute
Let that propaganda be
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
(Bridge)
I'll give you warnin', 'cause I'm afraid I'll have to raid
So take my warnin', or else you'll get this hand grenade
(Chorus 2)
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
Better save up your TNT
I don't want no infantry
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
Blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
(Chorus 2)
Blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me.
