Reply to comment by silversurfer63 in TIL that British troops developed a diss song against Nazi leaders during World War II titled "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." It was quickly picked up and sang by Allied troops. by collarpoppppppin

Hey I remember this song too 🌝 (80s kid used to live in England, my grandad was a tank commander in WW2 served from 1939-1946). I actually know the rest of the lyrics too (as far as I remember them lol), I’ll paste them below with yours (albeit a little modified).

🎶 Hitler has only got one ball,

the other is in the Albert Hall,

his mother, the silly bugger,

cut it off when he was small,

she threw it, in the deep blue sea,

the fishes,

looked suspicious,

And had scallops and bollocks, for teaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! 🎶

I know another one too.

🎶 in the German nick,

where they hang you by the dick,

and the rats play snooker with your balls,

and you’re dying for a wank,

but your minds gone blank,

but they hang dirty pictures on the wall 🎶

Not sure if odd or not but I learned this in scouts. whilst camping in Welsh countryside, we learned it from a scout of another troop. When one boy learned it, we all eventually learned it. I heard all the verses, however, only learned the first. The 'German nick' verse doesn't fit with Hitler Goebbels Goering Himmler verses, it may have a very well crafted improvisation suited for teenage boys.

You know I was in the scouts too, could have easily heard it there.

Oh yeah sorry, should have specified that it was just another wartime song I’d heard.

I know the second one as:

>In the Turkish jails

>Where they hang you by the nails

>And they paint dirty pictures on the walls

>Where your hair grown thick

>From your belly to your dick

>And the mice play billiards with your balls

Wonder where that one came from.
