One variant is "Whistle While You Work. Hitler is a jerk, Mussolini is a meanie and the Japs are worse."
The Dad's Army episode "The Deadly Attachment" contains a scene in which Private Pike sings a parody of the song mocking Hitler to a captured German officer. This prompts the prisoner to add Pike's name to a list of names for whom retribution will be sought after the war ends, after Captain Mainwaring inadvertently gives it away by exclaiming "Don't tell him, Pike!" after the prisoner asks what it is.
