Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night in your window sitting I saw you
Adolf, I know the serious virgin does adore you
Won't you come back home tonight?
Can't you see everything's going to be all right?
Oh Adolf, don't you say you've said goodbye
Don't say you've said goodbye now
Don't say you've said goodbye
Your suit of chrome it once
Shined so bright
She told me you were
Out of sight
The serious virgin
She waits for you tonight
Oh, don't say you've said goodbye now
Don't say you've said goodbye
Adolf, don't say you've said goodbye
Chronology
Interpretations
- During World War I and World War II governments encouraged individuals to develop "victory gardens," both to supplement food and to raise morale. They were planted in private homes and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany.
- "Your suit of chrome" may be a reference to the painting "The Standard Bearer" by Hubert Lanzinger, completed between 1934 and 1936 and first publicly displayed at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1937. It depicts Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi party, wearing a suit of armor.
- The narrator of the song appears to plead with Hitler not to commit suicide
