9th of May 1945 - Lyndon Queripel
If the Germans had won the war
I overheard some one say
We'd have no date to celebrate
No Liberation Day
If the Germans had won the war
We'd be driving on the right
And there would be a curfew
After nine o clock at night
If the Germans had won the war
And were in complete control
For sure there'd be a law
Against playing rock and roll
If the Germans had won the war
It would be a real drag
Having to fly a swastika
For our island flag
If the Germans had won the war
Without a shadow of a doubt
You'd never see a Guernsey Jew
But you'd see a sour kraut.
