The lyrics deal with Hitler's insatiable hunger for conquest and world domination, mentions the French's and Spaniards' unsuccessful attempts to bring down the British Empire, points out America's support for Britain (almost a year before the United States' entrance into the war), calls Hitler an "Austrian jailbird" and predicts he would soon meet the same fate as Napoleon, spending his final years in exile on Saint Helena. The song is one of many calypso tunes referring to global politics of the era, as for example Lord Beginner's "Chamberlain Says Peace" (1939) and "Run You Run, Hitler" (1940), Attila the Hun's "Send Hitler to St. Helena" (1940), "The Fall of France" (1941) by The Growler, or a few years earlier "Advantage Mussolini" (1936) by the Roaring Lion and "Selassie Is Held By The Police" (1937) by The Caresser, both denouncing Italy's invasion of Ethiopia.
