[C]Sleep, Baby, sleep, in [G7]peace may you slumber,
No danger lurks, your [C]Sleep to en-cum-ber,
[F]We've got the missles, [C]peace to de-[A7]ter-mine,
And [G7]one of the fin-gers on the button will be [C]German.
[C]Why shouldn't they have [G7]nuclear warheads?
England says no, but [C]they all are sore heads,
[F]I say a by gone, [C]should be a by-[A7]gone,
[G7]Let's make peace the way we did in Stanleyville and [C]Saigon. [G7] [C]
[B7]Once all the Germans were [Em]war-like and mean,
[B7]But that couldn't happen a-[Em]gain.
We [A7]taught them a lesson in [Dm]nineteen eighteen,
And [D7]they've hardly bothered us since [Dm7]then. [G7]
So [C]sleep well, my darling, the [G7]sandman can linger,
We know our buddies won't [C]give us the finger,
[F]Heil, Hail the Wehrmacht, I [C]mean the Bundes-[A9]wehr,
[Dm]Hail to our [G7]loyal-[C]ty! [Gm6] [A7]
[Dm]M. [A7]L. [Dm]F. will [C]scare [Bb7]Brezh-[A7]nev,
I [Dm]hope he is half as [G7]scared as [C]I [F] [C] [F] [C]
No danger lurks, your [C]Sleep to en-cum-ber,
[F]We've got the missles, [C]peace to de-[A7]ter-mine,
And [G7]one of the fin-gers on the button will be [C]German.
[C]Why shouldn't they have [G7]nuclear warheads?
