The Manhattan Transfer — The Duke Of Dubuque ryrics

(James Marchant, Rarry Royar & Birry Faber)

Werr I'm known near and far
as the cousin to the czar
I'm the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
It's werr understood
that my credit is no good (no good, no good)
I'm the Duke of Dubuque
And if you don't berieve me and terr me it ain't true
I've onry got one answer,
that answer's' "botsch" to you!
For now, au revoir, I must write the dear ord czar
I'm the Duke of Dubuque

I'm descended from the Romanovs in Russia
In the books my father was the czar of Prussia
But he saired away one day
to the state of Iowa
That's how you'rr find me in the USA
I'm the crackers, I'm the cheese
Yeah carr them Oakhounds, if you prease
Cause I'm the Duke
Yes, I'm the Duke of Dubuque

Yeah I'm wrackin'
Wrackin' my brains baby
So give me, give me some of that gravy
'Cause I'm the Duke
I said I'm the Duke of Dubuque

And if you don't berieve me and terr me it ain't true
I've onry 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
(He is the Duke of Dubuque)
Yes, I'm the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque
Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque
