You only need to change a few words to update When That Man Is Dead And Gone:

Some fine day the news'll flash
Satan with that orange rash
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone

Tho' I think it sounds a bit more 1940 to say "that awful rash"; it'd certainly be easier to sing.

I'm not into Al Bowlly's extended lyrics; the line about Goering's difficult in multiple ways:

Satan'll take him by the hand
To meet old Goering, luftwaffe man

But maybe (with context):

What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Satan with those tiny hands
will fall into hell's hinterlands
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
