Lyric The Duke Of Dubuque

THE DUKE OF DUBUQUE

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
