THE DUTCH COMPANY

O when you hear the roll of the big base-drum.
Then you may know that the Dutch have come.
For the Deitch company is the best company,
That ever came over from Old German.

Chorus.
Hora, hora, hora, la, la, la,
Hora, hora, hora, tra la, la, tra, la, la, la, lae, tra, la, la la lae,
Heis mine oyster au.

Warble.
Tweedleum, tweedleum, trie, trei, tru, trie, trei, tru trie, trei, tru,
Tweedleum, tweedleum, trie, trei, tru, trie, trei, tru, tra, la e-de, de.

When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war,
When the Deitch meets Deitch then comes the lager bier,
For the Deitch company is the best company,
That every came over from Old Germany.
