(James Marchant, Larry Royal & Billy Faber)
|
Well 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' "botsch" to you!
|
For now, au revoir, I must write the dear old czar
|
I'm the Duke of Dubuque
|
|
I'm descended from the Romanovs in Russia
|
In the books my father was the czar of Prussia
|
But he sailed away one day
|
to the state of Iowa
|
That's how you'll find me in the USA
|
I'm the crackers, I'm the cheese
|
Yeah call them Oakhounds, if you please
|
Cause I'm the Duke
|
Yes, I'm the Duke of Dubuque
|
|
Yeah I'm wrackin'
|
Wrackin' my brains baby
|
So give me, give me some of that gravy
|
'Cause I'm the Duke
|
I said 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!
|
|
For 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
|
(He is the Duke of Dubuque)
|
Yes, I'm the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque
|
Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque
