Deutchman's Philosophy
OR, JOHN SCHMIDT.
I've a toller vot I shpend, but I've notting for to lend,
For I never borrows nothing, don't you see, Yohn Schmidt,
I've a pooty leetle frow, unt I've friends in plenty now;
Unt lots of pooty children on my knee Yohn Schmidt.
I've nothing to desire, as I sits besides mine fire,
Unt I schmokes myself into a sleeping state, Yohn Schmidt;
I'm so happy vot can pe, so you listen now to me,
Unt I'll tell you vot I loves, unt vot I hates, Yohn Schmidt.
I likes de Lager Beer, ven it's goot, unt isn't dear,
I can trink 'bout sixty glasses in a tay, Yohn Schmidt,
But I hates de liquor law, such a ting I never saw
Vot would take our Schnapps and Lager away, Yohn Schmidt,
I liken a Deutchen song 'bout a hundred verses long,
Mit a chorus for a toussant voices too, Yohn Schmidt;
But I hates de schniffle psalm, vot isn't vort a-kreutzer,
To sing it makes your face so long and plue, Yohn Schmidt.
I likes some Deutchen food, ya, I likes it pooty goot,
Der shpeck unt sauer-kraut, unt salad schlau,Yohn Schmidt;
But I hates de mulk unt schwill, unt de veal dey never kill,
For it ties before dey've time to hit a knock, Yohn Schmidt.
I likes de pooty flowers vot grows in garten bowers,
De cabbage unt de radish unt de beet, Yohn Schmidt;
But I hate de toads unt frogs, unt de susage made of togs,
Unt everyting vot isn't goot to eat, Yohn Schmidt.
Now I've got a leetle shtore, unt I sits before mine toor,
Unt I sells de Branty schnapps unt pretzel cake,Yohn Schmidt
Unt I tink I pretty soon, have a Lager Beer saloon,
Unt den vot plenty money I vill make, Yohn Schmidt.
Unt ven enough I've got, I will puy a house unt lot,
Uut a corner grocery I vill have besides, Yohn Schmidt;
Den so happy I vill pe, mit my children on my knee,
Mit my money unt my frow, but mit no pride, Yohn Schmidt.
