MY DARLING PARTY LINE In old Moscow, in the Kremlin, In the fall of thirty nine. Sat a Russian and a Prussian Writing out the party line. cho: Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling party line. Oh, I never will desert you Cause I love this life of mine. Leon Trotsky was a Nazi, Oh, we knew it for a fact. Pravda said it, we all read it Before the Stalin-Hitler Pact. Once a Nazi would be shot, see. That was then the party line. Now a Nazi's hotsy-totsy, Trotsky's laying British mines. Now the Nazis, without Trotsky, [ALTERNATE: Now the Nazis and Der Fuehrer] Stand within the party line. All the Russians love the Prussians Volga boatmen sail the Rhine. Trotsky, Leon: In a series of frame-up trials held in Moscow in 1936-38, the co- architect of the Bolshevik Revolution, first Foreign Commissar, founder of the Red Army and Commissar for War (1918-1925) was 'proved' to have been an agent in the pay of various foreign governments, including Hitler's Germany. Once Hitler became an ally of Stalin, the latter accusation became somewhat 'inappropriate.' Pravda: The official party organ in the Soviet Union. Ronald D.
