Stalin Wasn't Stallin
The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The Führer and his vermin
This is how it all began
Now, the Devil, he was reading
In the Good Book, one day
How the Lord created Adam
To walk the righteous way
And it made the Devil jealous
He turned green up to his horns
And he swore by things unholy
That'd he'd make one of his own
So he packed two suitcases
Full of grief and misery
And he caught the Midnight Special
Going down in Germany
Then he mixed his lies and hatred
With fire and brimstone
Then the Devil sat upon it
That's how Adolf was born
Now Adolf got the notion
That he was the master race
And he swore he'd bring New Order
And put mankind in its place
So he set a scheme in motion
And was winning everywhere
Until he up and got the notion
For to kick that Russian bear
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The Führer and his vermin
This is how it all began
Yep, he kicked that noble Russian
But it wasn't very long
Before Adolf got suspicious
That he had done something wrong
'Cause that bear grabbed the Fuhrer
And gave him an awful fight
Seventeen months, he scrapped the Führer
Tooth and claw, day and night
Then that bear smacked the Führer
With a mighty armored paw
And Adolf broke all records
Running backwards to Kraków
Then Goebbels sent a message
To the people everywhere
That if they couldn't hit the Fuhrer
Go down hit that Russian bear
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The Führer and his vermin
This is how it all began
Then this bear called on his buddy
The noble fightin' Yank
And they sent the Führer running
With their ships and planes and tanks
Now the Führer's having nightmares
'Cause the Fuhrer knows darn well
That the Devil's done wrote "Welcome"
On his residence in Hell
Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The Führer and his vermin
That is how it all began
The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet's song "Stalin Wasn't Stallin" is a creative, satirical interpretation of the events leading up to the German defeat in World War II. The song's opening verse describes how Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union's leader, rallied the British and American forces to help fight Nazi Germany, thus beginning the start of the war. The second verse provides a twisted allegory where the Devil creates Adolf Hitler, who becomes a power-hungry dictator with aspirations of world domination. In the third verse, Hitler declares himself as having the master race and sets a plan in motion, but it all falls apart when he invades Russia, and the Russians fiercely push back, leading to Hitler's defeat.
The song's title "Stalin Wasn't Stallin" implies that Stalin was an active participant in the war and played a critical role in its outcome. The song highlights the absurdity of many of the war's events by personifying them through the Devil, and the imagery the song creates is effective in communicating the war's gravity while still being humorous.
Overall, "Stalin Wasn't Stallin" is a clever social commentary on one of the most significant events of the 20th century. It is a showcase of the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet's creativity and talent for writing witty lyrics and innovative music that confronts complex issues head-on.

Runnin' backwards to Krakow
Then Goebbels sent a message
To the people everywhere

Cause the fuhrer knows damn well
That the devil's done roast welcome
On his residence in hell
Stalin wasn't stallin'
