Gainsbourg:

Sunday Whirligig 20

 mariachis mortuary meth maybe missed mouths
 magician many mutants midnight motor more

no  mortuary for these many  missed parents
magically annihilated by the midnight mutants
struttin' and puffin' in their jack boots and stahlhelm
riding zundapp motor bikes

no crystal meth for this lot just zyklon B crystals
as jews lay open mouthed on the shower room floor
more corpses for the ovens

the surviving fragile children
play with the fervour of mariachis
on their balalaikas and fiddles
some day they will smile again -  maybe
