| 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 «mush"to you!
|
| Now, au revoir, I must write the dear old Czar
|
| I’m the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
|
| I’m descended from the Romanovs in Russia
|
| In the books my father was Czar in Russia
|
| But he sailed away one day
|
| to the state of Ioway
|
| And that’s how you’ll find me in the USA
|
| I’m the crackers, I’m the cheese
|
| Yeah, call them Wolfhounds, if you please
|
| Yes, I’m the Duke, I’m the Duke of Dubuque
|
| No pork chops, no gravy for me some legbones and black-eyed peas
|
| Yes, I’m the Duke, 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!
|
| 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
|
| Yes, I’m the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque
|
| Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque |
