Irving Berlin did not write "(There'll Be a) Hot Time in the Town of Berlin." Who did? And who recorded it? When?
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marchin' in
I wanna be there boy,
And spread some joy
When they take old Berlin
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Brooklyn boys begin
To take the joint apart
And tear it down
When they take old Berlin
They're gonna start a row
And show them how
We paint the town back, in Kokomo
They're gonna take a hike
Through Hitler's Reich
And change his 'Heil' to 'What ya know, Joe'
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marchin' in
You could never keep 'em happy down on the farm
After they take Berlin
I'm gonna grab a Frau
And show her how
We paint the town back, in Michigan
I'm gonna take a hike
Through Hitler's Reich
And change that 'Heil' to 'Gimme some skin'
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marchin' in
You know that you could never keep 'em happy down on the farm
After they take Berlin.
