Un politics makes him nix difference, but ven you comes mit de Maine liquors law to dake avay his lager bier, den, py dam, dat vas someding new,

To dis fine old Dietchen shentleman, von of de pestest kind.

Dis fine old Dietchen shentlemen he vent to bed drunk efery night,

Un somedimes ven dere vas coming rount elections, mit de udder fellers he’d fight,

To dis fine old Dietchen shentleman, von of de goot olt kind.

But von time dere comed some drouples, un he fight mit all his main,
