Dot Leedle German Band.

Yusd lisden unto me and I'll sing you a ditty,
Aboud a German band dot blays aboud dis cidy;
De insdrumends dot dey bave got, is a droinbone und cornet,
An alto born, a big brass drum, und a B flat clarinette'

Chorus.
Dot leedle German band,

De beoble cry und say: "Oh, my I"
As ve march drough de land.

Und set de bcoble vild mit de music dot ve play;
"Good-bye, sourbeart, und Hime, sweed hime. ve Way so fine,
But ve alvays do our best ven ve Way "Die wacht am Rhine."

Spoken-Yes, und de music comes so sweed from-Chorus.

Vhile vaiting yesterday down by a German garden,
A man asked me if I could Way, "De dune de old cow diet! on;"

Spoken-Und dot if I couldn't do dot mineself, dot I vould get to
helb me- Chorus.
