Dad's Army - Opening Titles

Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr. Hitler was the Dad's Army theme song, and appeared at the start of every episode. It was written by Jimmy Perry and Derek Taverner and performed by Bud Flanagan.

Lyrics

Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler
If you think we're on the run
We are the boys who will stop your little game
We are the boys who will make you think again
‘Cos who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler
If you think old England's done
Mr. Brown goes off to town on the 8.21
But he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun
So watch out Mr. Hitler, You have met your match in us
If you think you can crush us, We're afraid you've missed the bus
'Cos who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler
If you think old England's done

Trivia
