    Hit-ler has only got one ball;
    Goering has two but they are small;
    Himm-ler is very sim-ler;
    And Goebbels has no balls at all!

    I have a whole book full of military songs with a range of
    raunchiness... "Songs From the Front and Rear"

    They are not that rare. Sphere produced two paperbacks of
    "Rugby songs" in the 1960s, Hurtig (Canada) published the
    remarkable "Songs from the Front and Rear" in 1979 and
    I'd bet the Internet houses quite a few.

    Another in that vein is "Kiss me Good Night Sergeant-Major" - when I
    went to grad school I sold off a bunch of history and wargames stuff
    and always regretted getting rid of that one. So nearly 10 years ago I
    found it on an Aussie bookseller's site, ordered it and am still
    getting ads from them to this day (I'm in Canada).

    There was a time when I memorized Spike Milligan's "Der Fuehrer's
    Face"

    Don't think "Rugby Songs" (which were passed around in my high school
    class 40 years ago) is particularly WW2 related.

    By the way "Der Fuehrer's Face" was Spike Jones not Spike Milligan.

    Memories of both rugby and RAF service in the 1950s confirm the
    two repertoires overlapped by more than 50 pct.

    The lyrics I most remember was the one about "Lagos Lagoon" about a
    major bender involving a whole squadron of pilots who due to their
    antics in the song got a new ID code: "VD"...

    We are used to recognizing as the first known record of writing
    Babylonian tax-gatherers' records (rather than poetry or prayers;)
    so this Athenian grafitto might be the equivalent prototype of the
    Internet.

    Somehow, I doubt it rhymed in archaic Greek.
