My grandfather learned this song while he was a POW during WW II!

There was a jolly Dutchman his name was Johnny Rebek;
He made the finest sausages and sauerkraut by heck;
He made the finest sausages that evermore be seen;
Until one day he invented the most wonderful sausage machine;

Chorus:
Oh...Mr. Johnny Rebek,

How could you be so mean? I told you you'd be sorry for inventing that machine. Now all the neighbors, cats and dogs will never more be seen because they're all ground in sausages in Johnny Rebek's machine!!!

One day a boy went walking and walked right in a store;
He ordered a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor;
The boy started to whistle and whistled up a tune;
And all those little sausages started dancing around the room;

Chorus:
Oh...Mr. Johnny Rebek,

How could you be so mean? I told you you'd be sorry for inventing that machine. Now all the neighbors, cats and dogs will never more be seen because they're all ground in sausages in Johnny Rebek's machine!!!


One day the machine got broken, the darn thing wouldn't go;
So Johnny Rebek climbed inside, to see what made it so;
His wife was having a nightmare, walking in her sleep;
She gave the crank one hell of a yank and Johnny Rebek was meat;

Chorus:
Oh...Mr. Johnny Rebek,

How could you be so mean? I told you you'd be sorry for inventing that machine. Now all the neighbors, cats and dogs will never more be seen because they're all ground in sausages in Johnny Rebek's machine!!!
