For those that were wondering....

Hitler, has only got one ball,
the other, is in the Albert Hall
Himmler, is very similar,
And poor old Goebbels, has no balls at all.

That's the version I was taught anyway.

I was actually just watching 'Bridge Over The River Kwai' last night, and apparently, in the original script, that was the song the British soldiers were singing as they marched into and out of the Japanese POW camp.

It was later changed to whistling.

I wish you'd have used spaces. All we can see is the name through "ge."

If that's taken, you should be Eva Braun's Silk Igloo.

The second line I was taught was "Goering has two but they are small."
 
I now give to you
The story of World War II
In rhyming haikus

Hitler was aback
She would not show him her rack
"You have half a sack"

He said to us all
"When I cause Paris to fall
Found, will be my ball"

The French, they are sluts
We looked, and can you guess what?
Right - there was no nut

Testicles abound
In the sky and on the ground
Hitler's was not found

France was invaded
Hitler, still half castrated
Defeat was fated

The Russians appeared
We searched, and still it was clear
No gonad in here

The moral is shown
The world, a man cannot own
Who has but one stone
 
I think it was George Carlin who used this in his comedy ... "Did you know Hitler had one ball? Maybe he had one ball and two strikes against hime." Coulda been Steve Martin. I can't remember ...

I also can't believe this thread got to three pages before it, ahem, came up.

It was Carlin, though I can't remember exactly how he put it. I mentioned him earlier in the thread.
 
I don't know if I got it word for word, but it was definitely a one ball, two strikes reference.

And clearly, no, you're not the only one thinking of Carlin. One could make the case that him including it in a standup routine in the 1980s makes this deep background, but it's entertaining, nonetheless.
 
No wonder he was Führ-ious.

By the way, I got confirmation that it was indeed a British WWII marching song:
