My Grandfather sings a song called "Dunderbeck" and I have always wondered if anyone else had ever even heard of the song. When I saw the "Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts" thread I knew I had found people that could probably tell me.

Dunderbeck oh Dunderbeck how could you be so mean,
How could you have invested
That horrible machine
Now pussy cats and long tailed rats
Will never more be seen
They're all ground up to sausage meat
In Dunderbeck's machine

One day a very young boy
came into the store
He said he wanted sausages and ordered up a score
And while the boy was waiting
He whistled up a tune
The sausages they all got up
And danced about the room

Dunderbeck oh Dunderbeck how could you be so mean,
How could you have invested
That horrible machine
Now pussy cats and long tailed rats
Will never more be seen
They're all ground up to sausage meat
In Dunderbeck's machine

One day there was some trouble
The machine it would not go
And Dunderbeck he crawled inside
The trouble for to know
Hiw wife had since retired
And was walking in her sleep
She gave the crank
An awful yank
And Dunderbeck was meat

Try Mr. Johnnie Verbeck. I learned it from the old "Song Fest" (Best & Best).

Both Dunderbeck and Johhny Vorbeck are in the digital tradition
