Thanks for the memory
In every German's mind, when you broke the ties that bind
And dictated a peace called the Treaty of Versailles.
How rotten that was.
Thanks for the memory
Of British aims divine, French Negroes on the Rhine
The food blockade and misery all over the German Reich
What an injustice that was.Many's the time that you feasted,
And many's the time that we fasted.
For you, it was swell while it lasted.
You did have fun, but harm was done.Well, thanks for the memory.
It gives us strength to fight for freedom and for right.
It might give you a headache, England, that the Germans know how to fight
And hurt you so much.
