The Last Straw

(Dr. Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Chief, still continues his allegations about British Naval losses.)

Im the Voice of Veracity, King of the Air, The nations believe What I choose to declare.

We've sunk the Repulse, The Renown, and the Hood. 1t not, then some like em And ten times as good. "Twas a brave Nazi airman, Aloft in the dark, Who shot Noah's pigeon And sank Noah's Ark.

My theory's simple, Delightfully bold—A fact is a view That the Aryans hold! But sometimes I talk To myself—and I grieve—For the things that I tell Me I cannot believe!
