Snuffy, indeed "GI Blues" of 1960 contains the lines:
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time

...

We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
for a slice of Texas cow
The male background singers repeat "hasenpfeffer, hasenpfeffer".

This song is obviously set in Germany, where the singer is simply homesick, not disgusted.
