Thread Name: Fritz, the German Dragon- Author?
Subject: 'Fritz, the German Dragon'- Author?
Looking for an author for this parody of "Puff":

^^
Fritz, the German dragon lived by the Rhine,
And frolicked in the German beer and drank out of a stein.
Little Ziegfried Bergman loved that rascal Fritz,
And brought him Pabst and Michelob, but never any Schlitz.

Chorus:
|: Fritz, the German dragon lived by the Rhine,
And frolicked in the German beer and drank out of a stein. :|

Together they would get drunk on beer with billowed foam.
Fritz would wait 'til morning and then carry Ziegfried home.
German kings and princes would flee at the sight,
And go to have a drink, themselves, to rid them of the fright.

Chorus.
A flagon's full forever; not so, little cans.
Pull top rings and all those things gave way to other brands.
One grey day, it happened: Ziegfried came no more,
And Fritz, that drunken dragon had to go down to the store.

His head was hung in stupor; his eyes were glazed with pain.
Fritz could buy no more brown ale because he had no change.
Without inebriation, Fritz could not go on,
So come and have a drink with me, as we all sing his song.

Chorus.
