Who invented the sausage machine

I told you you'd be sorry for inventing that machine. Now all the neighbour's cats and dogs will never more be seen, They've all been ground to sausage meat in Johnny Burvek's machine. One day a little Dutch boy came walking in the store, He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor.

The boy began to whistle, he whistled up a tune, And all the little sausages, they danced around the room. One day the darn thing busted, the darn thing wouldn't go, So Johnny Burvek, he climbed inside to see what made it so. That night his wife had nightmares, came walking in her sleep, Gave the grank a helluva yank, and Johnny Burvek was meat.

A man whose name was Dunderbeck invented a machine For grinding meat to sausages and it was run by steam. Now long tailed rats and pussy cats no longer will be seen For they've all been ground to sausage meat by Dunderbeck's machine. These German dialect songs were once very common though they seem to have disappeared. Last year I had occaison to teach a couple of them to elementary classes in arkansas and they found them to be strange and wonderful. The other was, of course, Was ist das here?

Das is t mine head thinker, Mammma my dear. Head thinker Nick a nick a noo. Dats vot ve learn in da school. And all the little sausages followed him 'round the room.

He fired up the old machine and now there's more to eat. So Donnie called the city pound to see what he could find. They said, "We're out of business, we keep the strays no more. He'd spend the cash in Donnie's store for meat that he had sought.

The irony was that the taste was fabulous, indeed! The food is good and plentiful and never gives a cramp. The blamed thing wouldn't go.

So Don Derbeck, he climbed inside to see what made it so. His wife, she had a nightmare, and walking in her sleep, She gave the crank a heck of a yank and Don Derbeck was meat. But being oh so practical, she added spice and greens.

She sold the tasty sausage, then boarded up the scene. Please let us know if you think this video has been taken down by YouTube.
