[Verse 1]
[G][D][Bm][G][B][Gaug][Cm][G][Eb][D]
Don't [Am]let's be [G]beastly [D]to the [G]Germans
Now our [C]victory is [Cm]ultimately [G]won
[Em]Let us treat them very kindl[C]y
[D]As we would a valued friend
We might [Em]them [A]out some bishops
As a [D]form of lease and lend
Let's [G]be sweet to them
[C]And day by day repeat to [Am]them
[A]That sterilization simply isn't [D]done
Let's [G]sweetly sympathize [B]again
And help the scum [Em]to r[A]ise again
But [G]don't [D]let's be beastly
to the [G]Hun[C][G]
[D]We must be kin[G]d
[D]And with an [C]open mind[G]
[D]We must en[G]deavor to find a way
[B]To let[C] the Germans kno[Cm]w
That now the [B]war [C]is [B]over[Em]
[Am]They are not the ones who have to [D]pay
We must be [Em]sweet
[D]And tactful [Em]and discreet
[D]And now they've suf[G]fered
defeat
We mustn't let them feel upset or
[Am]ever get the feeling
That we're [G]cross with [B]them or
[Bm]hate them[E]
[A]Our future policy must
[D]be to reinstate [C]them
Don't [Am]let's be [G]beastly [D]to
the Germans
[Em]For they're civilized
[G]When all is sai[C]d and[Cm] don[B]e[G][Em]
[Am]Thou[D]gh they gave us science, cultu[G]re, art,
[Em]and music,[A] to excess
They also gave us [D]two world wars
and Dr. Rudolph Hess
[G]Let's [D]be meek to them
[Am]And turn the other cheek to [D]them
An[A]d try to arouse their latent
[G]sense of [D]fun
[G]Let's [B]give them ful[Em]l air parity
And treat the [C#dim]rat s with chari[A]ty
But [D]don't let's be beastly to the [G]Hun[C][G][D][Em][D][C]
[Em][D][G][B][C][Cm][G]
[C][B][Em][Am][D][C][D][G]
[D][Em][D][G][C][Am][C]
[Cm][C][Em][A][D][C]
Don't [Am]let's be [C]beastly [D]to the Ger[C]mans
[G]You can[C]'t deprive a
[Cm]gangster of his [G]gun
[Em]Though they've been [C]a litt[D]le naughty
To the [G]Czechs and [Em]Poles and Dutch
I can't be[A]lieve those countries
Really [D]minded very much
[G]Let's be free with them
And [C]share the BBC with [G]them
We [A]mustn't prevent them
basking in the [D]sun
Let's [G]soften [B]their defeat again
And [A]build their bloody fleet again
But [D]don't let's be beastly to the [G]Hun
