My hampsters are whistling a marching jody called "The Colonel Bogey March," that was made famous by it's appearance in the 1957 film "The Bridge on the River Kwai."

Right: Kenneth J. Alford was a pseudonym for Frederick Joseph Ricketts (1881 - 1945); By the age of 14, Ricketts was playing cornet in the Royal Irish Regiment Band. He completed the bandmaster's course at the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall in 1908. Most of his marches were composed during the next two decades while he was bandmaster of the Second Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

The original tune was penned by Kenneth J. Alford (aka Maj. Frederick Joseph Ricketts) (1880-1945)

The following words were added to the march by World War II service members. They were not written by Maj. Ricketts:

Hitler
Has only got one ball,
Goering
Has two, but very small
Himmler
Has something similar,
But poor old Goebbels
Has no balls
At all!
