Usual disclaimers apply: I don't own 'Hogan's Heroes' and am only borrowing them for fun, not profit. I also don't own the rights to any songs performed by Eddie Rabbit and am borrowing it for fun, not profit.
Switching gears for a moment, I take you to the country side of life. Yes, I said country. As in country music. If you're not familiar with this particular tune, just think of the pounding rhythm of the windshield wipers running at full speed as you're driving down the highway in the middle of a blinding rainstorm.
That's where I was when this particular track hopped into my head.
Without further ado, I give you...
Life At Stalag 13
(To the tune of 'Driving My Life Away' by Eddie Rabbit.)
It's midnight,
searchlights, blind you on a winter's night
Guard dogs, barbed wire
up ahead, slow me down, no time
And no place to hide.
They're blowin'
whistles, everyone's fallin' out
Feet pounding in the
snow, Schultz is yellin' for roll call
Klink's standing
there waiting.
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life of a prisoner, for me
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life at Stalag 13.
Go out in the night
gather up escapers
Bring 'em back all
safe into camp, passports with civilian clothes
Then time to go to
London
Round up Carter,
Kinchloe, Newkirk and Le Beau
Keep the Krauts on
their toes set the charges let'em blow
And go with Colonel
Hogan
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life of a prisoner, for me
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life at Stalag 13.
It's midnight,
searchlights, blind you on a winter's night
Guard dogs, barbed wire
up ahead, slow me down, no time
And no place to hide.
They're blowin'
whistles, everyone's fallin' out
Feet pounding in the
snow, Schultz is yellin' for roll call
Klink's standing
there waiting.
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life of a prisoner, for me
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life at Stalag 13
Ooh the life of a
saboteur, the life at Stalag 13.
