"Springtime for Merkel and Germany, Meltdown for Ireland and Greece"

Richard Littlejohn in The Mail has written a lovely reworking of Mel Brooks' classic from The Producers 'Springtime for Hitler'. It's rather funny and well done...

The Eurozone is having trouble, what a sad, sad story,
Europe needs a leader to restore its  former glory,
Where, oh where, is she?
Right here, in Germany.
She’s the one we need right now,
The original Iron Frau.
And so it’s . . .

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,

Meltdown for Ireland and Greece,

We’re marching forward to bankruptcy,

Watching the death of democracy . . .

Showtime for President Sarkozy,
The markets are downgrading France,
Bang goes the doomed single currency,
Come on Germans, go into your dance.
In East Berlin, the volk are hurtin’
Should have stayed behind the Iron Curtain.
Don’t be stupid, be a smarty
Forget the Bunga Bunga Party.

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,

Riots in Lisbon and Spain,

Berlusconi is toppled in Italy,

And Deutschland is rising again . . .

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,
Bail-outs for Europe’s bust banks,
Billions of euros gone down the drain,
Come on Germans, start revving your tanks.
Listen to Angela’s sermon
All of Europe’s speaking German.

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,

Doomsday for Athens and Rome,

You don’t want to make us your enemy,

We’re creating a brand new hegemony . . .

Crunch time for Britain and Cameron,
Protests on the steps of St Paul’s,
The Tories want out of the Union,
But Cleggy’s got Dave by the . . .

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,

Panic on Wall Street and the DAX,

The Bundesbank’s final solution is,

Make the City of London pay tax.

Come on Mervyn, be a honey,
Give us all the City’s money.

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,

We’re building a new Fourth Reich,

This shouldn’t come as a mystery,

Not if you study your history . . .

(Grand finale)
And so it’s . . .

Springtime for Merkel and Germany,

The euro is dead on the floor,

Frankfurt is dictating policy,

And soon we’ll be going,

Yes, we are going,

It looks like we’re going to war!
