| Two Little Hitlers (from the album *Armed Forces*) |
| A | E |
| Why are we racing | to be so old? |
| A | E |
| I’m up late pacing the floor I | won’t be told |
| A | E | D |
| You have your reservations | I’m bought and | sold |
| D |
| I’ll face the music I’ll face the facts |
| E |
| Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks |
| A | E |
| Bowing and squawking | Running after titbits |
| A | E7 |
| Bobbing and squinting | Just like a nitwit |
| D |
| Two little Hitlers will fight it out until |
| E | A |
| One little Hitler does the other one’s | will |
| D | E | D | E | |
| I | will | return I | will not | burn |
| Down in the basement |
| A | E |
| I need my head examined | I need my eyes excited |
| A | E7 |
| I’d like to join the party | But I was not invited |
| A | E7 |
| You make a member of me | I’ll be delighted |
| D |
| I wouldn’t cry for lost souls, you might drown |
| E |
| Dirty words for dirty minds Written in a toilet town |
| A | E7 |
| Dial me a Valentine | She’s a smooth operator |
| A | E7 |
| It’s all so calculated | She’s got a calculator |
| A | E7 |
| She’s my soft touch typewriter | And I’m the great dictator |
| A | |
| A simple game of self- | respect |
| E | A |
| You flick a switch and the | world goes off |
| E | A |
| Nobody jumps as you | expect |
| E | F#m | E |
| I would have thought you would have | had enough by | now |
| A | E7 |
| You call selective dating | For some effective mating |
| A | E7 |
| I thought I’d let you down, dear | But you were just deflating |
| A | E7 |
| I knew right from the start | We’d end up hating |
| D |
| Pictures of the merchandise Plastered on the wall |
| E |
| We can look so long as we don’t have to talk at all |
| A | E7 |
| You say you’ll never know him | He’s an unnatural man |
| A | A |
| He doesn’t want your pleasure | He wants as no one can |
| A | E7 |
| He wants to know the names of | All those he’s better than |
| D | E | |
| I | will | return |
| D | E | |
| I | will not | burn . . . . . |
