The Duke Of Dubuque (LP版) - The Manhattan Transfer
Well 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' botsch to you
For 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 the czar of Prussia
But he sailed away one day
To the state of iowa
That's how you'll find me in the USA
I'm the crackers
I'm the cheese
Yeah call them Oakhounds if you please
'Cause I'm the Duke
I'm the Duke
Of Dubuque
Yeah
I'm wrackin' my brains baby for me
So let push and black gravy
Yes I'm the Duke
I'm the Duke
I'm the Duke
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
For 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
