To the Tune of W. S. Gilbert

Major Fritz-Schinkenwurst Hofbrau Von Beers

Was the pride and the joy of the Pruss Grenadiers.

You’ve guessed him a Prussian, shrewd reader, at sight,

And a glance at his manners will prove you are right.

In his fervour for “Frightfulness” Major Von Beers

Acknowledged no betters and precious few peers.

And every one envied his well-earned repute

For arson and pillage and rapine and loot.
