OK, so now here's the official U.S. Boy Scout version, which isn't a heck of a lot different from other versions - but it has a different tune, the tune I learned with it.
Johnnie Verbeck
There was a little Dutchman, His name was Johnnie Verbeck. He was a dealer in sausages And sauerkraut and spec. He made the finest sausage That ever you did see. But one day he invented A wonderful sausage machine.
Chorus Oh, Mister Johnnie Verbeck, How could you be so mean? I told you you'd be sorry For inventing that machine. All the neighbors' cats and dogs Will never more be seen; For they'll be ground to sausages In Johnnie Verbeck's machine.
One day a boy came walking, came walking in the store, He bought a pound of sausage and piled them on the floor; The boy began to whistle and he whistled up a tune, And all the little sausages went dancing 'round the room. Repeat chorus
One day the machine got busted and the blamed thing wouldn't go, So Johnnie Verbeck, he climbed inside to see what made it so; His wife, she had a nightmare and walking in her sleep, She gave the crank an awful yank and Johnnie Verbeck was meat. Repeat chorus
source: Boy Scout Songbook, Boy Scouts of America, 1963The notation in the Boy Scout book is a little clumsy, but it produces a tune that sounds more-or-less like the one I learned.
