The Duke Of Dubuque — текст песни (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 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
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 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
(He is the Duke of Dubuque)
Yes, I`m the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque
Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque
