Dunderbeck

There was a strange old butcher, His name was Dunderbeck
He was very fond of sausage-meat, and sauerkraut and speck
He had the finest butcher shop, the finest ever seen

Until one day he invented his wonderful sausage machine



On Mr. Dunderbeck! How could you be so mean?
I told you you'd be sorry for inventing that machine
For all the neighbor's dogs and cats will never more be seen
They'll all be ground to sausage meat in Dunderbeck's machine

One day a very little girl came walking in the store
She ordered up some sausage meat and eggs, a half a score
And while she stood a-waiting she whistled up a tune

And the sausage meat it started up and danced around the room

Once day when he was working the machine it would not go
So Dunderbeck, he climbed inside to see what made it so
His wife she had a night-mare and came walking in her sleep
She gave the crank a heck of a yank, and Dunderbeck was meat!
