Manhattan Transfer - The Duke Of Dubuque lyrics

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
