Subject: it vas vinter in the valley green
I learned this version Michigan in the 60's at summer camp . . . I think it still has a few more lines. Does anyone know them?

It vas vinter in the valleygreen and the vind blew against the vindowpane
The vomen in the vaudeville wrote philosophy in the vestibule.
Copenhagen was taken hoorah hoorah
Copenhagen vas taken hoorah hoorah
And all the shtrange people stood up in the shteeple and shpit on the people below
Aah, aah, vomen
Aah, aah men
Acht deliber august September October
No vonder ve are sober ve and got no beer
My little brother Heindrich by the vindow stood
Inside, outlooking
He saw a tree there standing
He leaned the vindow out
He fell the vindow out
His head upon the rocks there lay
Peach-less.
He died he did
He died of broken rib he did
He died he did he died of broken rib.
We're the boys from bowling green
Bowling green
Bowling green
We're the boys from bowling green,
Boooys, don't bowl on the green
The green is for the king
The king is for the queen
The queen is for the prince.
Prince what prince?
Finger prints, nah
Foot prints, nah
Here Prince!
The moral of our story is to be able to distinguish the difference between asthma
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
And passion
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
