I don’t remember how it came up, but some of us were standing around
talking about something the other day and I remembered the song Johnny Verbeck
No one else had ever heard it, so I went on an internet hunt. I found several versions.:
This is how I remember it
There was a jolly Dutchman,
His name was Johnny Verbeck.
He made the finest sausages
And sauerkraut and speck.
He made the finest sausages
The and sauerkraut ever seen,
Then one day he invented
A sausage meat machine.
Chorus:
His name was Johnny Verbeck.
He made the finest sausages
And sauerkraut and speck.
He made the finest sausages
The and sauerkraut ever seen,
Then one day he invented
A sausage meat machine.
Chorus:
Oh, Mr. Johnny Verbeck
How could you be so mean.
I told you you'd be sorry for
Inventing that machine.
Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs
Will never more be seen.
They'll all be ground to sausages
In Johnny Verbecks' machine.
One day a boy came walking,
A walking in the store
A walking in the store
He ordered up some sausages
And piled them on the floor.
The boy began to whistle,
He whistled up a tune.
And all the little sausages
They danced around the room .
And piled them on the floor.
The boy began to whistle,
He whistled up a tune.
And all the little sausages
They danced around the room .
Chorus:
One day the darn thing busted
One day the darn thing busted
The darn thing wouldn't go.
So Johnny Verbeck, 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 Johnny Verbeck was meat.
So Johnny Verbeck, 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 Johnny Verbeck was meat.
Chorus
And so was
he.
