The crisis in the Eurozone goes from bad to worse, with two democratically-elected national leaders deposed already on the orders of the shadowy, federalist Frankfurt Group. Other countries teeter on the brink of financial and political turmoil.
Greek newspapers are depicting Chancellor Angela Merkel as Adolf Hitler, after she warned menacingly that unless the whole of Europe takes orders from Germany, the peace which has been maintained since the end of World War II cannot be guaranteed.
This seems like a good time to revive Mel Brooks’ masterpiece, The Producers.
In the movie, theatrical impresario Max Bialystock and his accountant Leopold Bloom set out to stage a musical, Springtime For Hitler, which will be a sure-fire flop. That way, Max can defraud his investors and make a fortune.
The euro, on the other hand, was designed to be a sure-fire success and has ended up defrauding an entire Continent.
(Overture and beginners)
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!
And how it looked in the Daily Mail newspaper:
