- Comments
- The lyrics of this song were used as a defiant dig at the allegedly ineffectual Luftwaffe. On 13 November 1939, soon after the outbreak of the Second World War and also soon after the song was premiered Germany launched its first air raid on Britain on flying boats that were sheltering in Sullom Voe, Shetland. Two rabbits were supposedly killed by a bomb drop although it is suggested that they were in fact procured from a butchers' shop and used for publicity purposes.
