Oh, where, oh where is he?
Note: In grade school, during WWII, we had
a parody of this we sang for fun. It refers
to Rudolph Hess, Hitler’s #2 man, who either
went on his own or at Hitler’s instruction to
try to «negotiate» peace with Great Britain.
His plane was shot down over Scotland and Hess,
captured, never got to fulfill the mission and
spent the rest of his life in solitary confinement
in an English prison. Here’s that version.
Oh, where, oh, where has my Rudolph gone?
Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
I sent him to England a long time ago.
Oh, where, oh, where could he be?

I wouldn’t have believe it
you move me to poetry you do
speaking freely to anyone who studies us
from various points of view
We’ll find that we resemble mildew
in everything we do

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

With hurry home drops on her cheek

Marie is only six years old information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory
