## Original Lyrics

DR. BARON VON NAZI:

Ever since the second world war.

It is like everybody's still so sore.

After what happened.

But don't judge a book, just on its look.

The inside must be examined.

Sure, we've made some mistakes

From small ones to great

But did everyone have to get so mad?

Here's my verdict

No one's perfect

Perhaps the Nazis aren't so bad

Eins, zwei, drei.

People say we got a bit lost

With the whole Holocaust.

But the Nazis are not so bad

They made such a fuss

But they don't know us

The Nazis are not so bad

We love to laugh and smile

We love to shout SIEG HEIL

But no one understands

We've got style, we've got grace,

We've got the master race

Nazis are not so bad

Nobody seemed to pout

When they ate our sauerkraut

Still they turned around and tanked us

We did all we could do

To eliminate the Jew

But nobody ever thanked us

So we never got the glory

And you rewrote the story

And I feel it from my wiener to my schnitzel.

Once you get to know us

We're not so atrocious.

HEY! Nazis are not so evil.

VON NAZI (spoken):

In fact, the Nazis, we are quite good.

Henchmen!

GRETEL:

I'm Gretel!

HANS:

I'm Hans!

HEIDI:

I'm Heidi!

WERNHER:

I'm Wernher von Braun!

GRETEL:

The first road to drive upon

was created by Nazis, the Autobahn!

HANS:

It's unhealthy, all your choking

The Nazis were very anti-smoking

HEIDI:

The father of rockets was a Nazi too

WERNHER:

I changed the world! What did you do?

GRETEL, HANS, HEIDI, WERNHER:

Volkswagen and Hugo Boss, Adidas and Puma and the Swastika

Nazis aren't so bad, we're not so bad

We're not so

CURT (spoken):

What about genocide?

VON NAZI (spoken):

Shut up!

VON NAZI:

When I was just a boy

I was filled with youth and joy

In the mountains of Germany

I felt the Nazi fervor, oh, to be just like mein Führer

Spreading the peace and conformity

But now I'm all grown up

and it's all fucked up

Hitler's gone and I'm oh so sad

No.

HEIDI:

But sir!

Now it's in your hands

GRETEL, HANS, HEIDI, WERNHER:

The Nazis have a second chance

VON NAZI (spoken):

You guys...

See, Mega,

The Nazis are not so bad

Let's dance!

Here we go!

GRETEL, HANS, HEIDI, WERNHER, VON NAZI:

Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!

VON NAZI (spoken):

Other side!

And now we kick!

Kick and

kick!

Goose step!

Goose step!

VON NAZI (spoken):

And okay, we're done.

Now when I say Nazi, you say Party,

Nazi!

NAZIS & AUDIENCE (spoken):

Party!

VON NAZI (spoken):

Nazi!

NAZIS & AUDIENCE (spoken):

Party!

VON NAZI (spoken):

When I say Sieg, you say Heil.

Sieg!

NAZIS & AUDIENCE (spoken):

Heil!

VON NAZI (spoken):

Sieg!

NAZIS & AUDIENCE (spoken):

Heil!

VON NAZI (spoken):

Woah, this is a Nazi Party, okay!

Now say it with me,

and I'll be looking for the ones who don't obey.

Nazis are not so bad.

NAZIS & AUDIENCE (spoken):

Nazis are not so bad. Nazis are not so bad. Nazis are not so bad.

CURT:

The fuck is wrong with you people?!

VON NAZI:

We've been victimised but (NAZIS: Ooooh)

Hey, we're alright (NAZIS: Ooooh)

ALL NAZIS:

The Nazis are not so bad♪

VON NAZI:

People say we're lame and call us names (NAZIS: Ooooh)

ALL NAZIS:

But Nazis are not so bad

Nazis are not so bad, Nazis are not so, Nazis are not so, Nazis are not so

Nazis aren't so bad

We're not so bad

We're not so bad

We're not so bad

VON NAZI (spoken):

So did I convince you or what?

VON NAZI:

Sieg heil!

NAZIS:

Sieg heil!
