Lyrics to the "Hogans Heroes" theme song


Well okay, after I wrote these lyrics (when I was like twelve) I found out there actually are lyrics to the Hogan's Heroes theme song, but they're kind of lame. They're all about "husky men of war" and throwing punches and stuff. The hell? Are we even watching the same show?

Anyway, I had way too much free time as a child (or, as they would say today, I was underscheduled) and as a result I've ended up with a lot of theme songs stuck in my head. Which is fine. But if you're going to have a song stuck in your head, it should at least have words. So after a while, without even thinking about it, my brain started popping lyrics into the songs - it has something to do with the human's mind to see and create patterns where none exist or somesuch. One of my neurobiologist friends tried explaining it to me once, but I got distracted by a cloud that looked just like Washington crossing the Delaware on a Viking ship! Umm... oh yeah. So before I forget, here are the words to the Hogan's Heroes theme song:

Gonna watch that Hogan's Heroes show (Hogan's Heroes show)
Hogan's Heroes show, yeah Hogan's Heroes show.
Hogan's plane got shot down in France
Now
He's in a camp
It's
run by the Luftwaff-oh

Gonna watch that Hogan's Heroes show (Hogan's Heroes show)
Hogan's Heroes show, yeah Hogan's Heroes show.
Carter makes bombs
And
Newkirk's a crook
And
LeBeau's a cook
And
Kinch has a radio

Gonna watch that Hogan's Heroes show (Hogan's Heroes show)
Hogan's Heroes show, yeah Hogan's Heroes show.
Schultz is fat
But
Klink makes him work
That
Nazi's a jerk
Just
wait until Nur'mburg-oh
