The Duke Of Dubuque |
I’m known near and far |
as the cousin to the Czar |
I’m the Duke, Duke of Dubuque |
It’s well understood |
that my credit is no good, no good, no good |
I’m the Duke of Dubuque |
And if you don’t believe me, and tell me it ain’t true, |
I’ve only got one answer, |
that answer’s «mush"to you! |
Now, au revoir, I must write the dear old Czar |
I’m the Duke, Duke of Dubuque |
I’m descended from the Romanovs in Russia |
In the books my father was Czar in Russia |
But he sailed away one day |
to the state of Ioway |
And that’s how you’ll find me in the USA |
I’m the crackers, I’m the cheese |
Yeah, call them Wolfhounds, if you please |
Yes, I’m the Duke, I’m the Duke of Dubuque |
No pork chops, no gravy for me some legbones and black-eyed peas |
Yes, I’m the Duke, I’m the Duke of Dubuque |
And if you don’t believe me, and tell me it ain’t true, |
I’ve only got one answer, |
That answer’s «nuts"to you! |
Now, fun to do, can you spare a buck or two? |
I’m the Duke, Duke of Dubuque |
He’s the Duke, Duke of Dubuque |
He’s the Duke, Duke of Dubuque |
Yes, I’m the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque |
Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque |
