Karl "Charlie" Schwedler's Nazi version:
The king's horses and the king's men
Marched on to France and marched back again.
The king's horses and the king's men.

They were out to march to the Rhine
And hang out their washing on the Siegfried Line.
The king's horses and the king's men.

They couldn't do a thing to beat the foe
You might think so, but oh, dear, no.
All the men are feeling low
'Cause they couldn't put some pep
Into Churchill's show.

It's their duty now and then
To make a glorious retreat
And be decorated again.
The king's horses and the king's men.

The King's Horses--Charlie & His Orchestra (1941)

Hey!

They play this song as part of the ‘line entertainment’ in the Jungle Cruise at Disney World.

Thanks! I love this song.

In the USA, Ben Bernie had a hit with The King's Horses in the early months of 1931. Lou Gold also recorded it.
