His name was Johnny Verbeck,
He made the finest sausages and sauerkraut and speck
He made the finest sausages, that you did ever see...
Until one day he invented his wonderful sausage machine.
BANG!
(chorus)
Oh Mister Johnny Verbeck, how could you be so mean?
All the neighbors cats and dogs will never more be seen...
they'll all be ground to sausages in Johnny Verbeck's machine.
BANG!
One day a boy came walking, he walked into the store,
He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor.
He then began to whistle, to whistle up a tune,
and all the little sausages went dancing round the room.
BANG!
(chorus)
One day the thing got busted
The darn thing wouldn't go,
so Johnny Verbeck, he climbed inside, to see what made it go
His wife she had a nightmare
and walking in her sleep,
she gave the crank and awful yank
and Johnny Verbeck was MEAT!!!
BANG!
(chorus)
I learned this song at at Cheley Colorado Camps from the Cheley Songbook. Composer and vintage unknown and uncited...are the Cheleys thus guilty of copyright infringement, most seriously, or a mere form of plagiarism? Perhaps. Let history be the judge.
By the way, I highly recommend a summer at Cheley Colorado Camps for anyone who can afford it. Much adventure and silliness to be found there.
