The man of twelve tongues knows it all
Only hit .220 but that's also his IQ
Caught and threw from spring till fall
Then the OSS came calling
Moe had a brand new job
Snapping pics for Uncle Sam
Sailed the Pacific with Ruth and Gehrig
In 1934 it was Tokyo calling
Hirohito never knew, oh damn!
War broke out and Moe got a call
Germans be working on an atom bomb
We stop 'em now or Olympus might fall
So Moe tracked down bad ol' Werner
Found him brooding on his uncertainty
Gotta kill him that's a certainty
But Moe was no killer
And the Nazi lived to be punked by a Jew
Not so superior after all
And Moe became the wisest of Americans
The man of twelve tongues sure knows it all
