Lyrics

It began awkwardly it began straining
Gotta talk about How To Be An Intern Without Previous Training
He shuffled and chuckled but he never refused.
"In those days events overtook you,"
"In those days events moved."
French residence at a non-judicious time
Hitler on the march, city occupied
He wanted badly to take Ethel and flee
Goebbels Wheels turning back in Germany.
Germany
Woo hoo
"I became a prisoner in a posh Berlin hotel
They'd taken me there and there bid me I stay
You don't argue with the Gestapo about where you dwell
That was my own personal policy anyway."
"The broadcasts," he said, “Were not my intention"
“A means of survival, not worth a mention”
"I was 59, past my prime even then."
"No one thought they'd ever hear from me again" - But they did.
And then they stopped.
I spent the rest of my life trying to make it right
I lived in infamy and I lived in fame
I lived in the hearts of millions - Enlisted and civilians
I lived in happiness and I lived in shame
"The broadcasts," he said, “Were not my intention"
“A means of survival, not worth a mention”
"I was 59, past my prime even then."
"No one thought they'd ever hear from me again" - But they did.
Oh they did
Woo hoo
