lyrics

She's the girl I love the most,
I lured her out here to the coast,
I know it's not my place to boast,
But she's the best and she

Is my
Half German Girlfriend,
Half German Girlfriend,
Half German Girlfriend,
And I love her so.

The Nazi and the Orthodox Jew
Would both be disgusted if they knew
About the dirty things we do,
On that they would agree.

She's my
Half German Girlfriend,
Half German Girlfriend,
Half German Girlfriend,
And I love her so

Half of German culture is divine,
And I guess we'll breed the rest all out in time.

Our Mongrel children will go forth,
Proving their superior worth,
The miscegenated will inherit the earth,
Destroying purity. (Whee!)

Half German Girlfriend,
Half German Girlfriend,
Half German Girlfriend,
And I love her so,
Never never gonna let her go,
Oh no,
Cause you and I know
That you and I know
That I'm a lucky little so and so,
Uh-oh.

Having built a cult following with his weirdly compelling stage presence, G.B. has a strange ability to create fun chaos. ... more
