Dad’s Army Theme Song Lyrics
Who do you think you’re kidding Mr Hitler
If you think we’re on the run
We are the boys who will stop your little game
We are the boys who will make you think again
Cos who do you think you’re kidding Mr Hitler
If you think old England’s done
Mr Brown goes off to town
On the 8:21
But he comes home each evening
And he’s ready with his gun
So watch out Mr Hitler
You’ve met your match in us
If you think you can crush us
We’re afraid you’ve missed the bus
Who do you think you’re kidding Mr Hitler
If you think we’re on the run
We are the boys who will stop your little game
We are the boys who will make you think again
Cos who do you think you’re kidding Mr Hitler
If you think old England’s done
