Thanks, Sorcha.
I'll post it here, 'cause links disappear.

Song picked up by personnel lucky enogh to have a tour of duty in Germany - either with 444 Squadron in Lahr or 1 Canadian Air Group in Baden-Soligen.
Tune: Ein Prosit (Duh!)
[Upon hearing the first strains of the song, stand and place one foot on your chair, your neighbor, or whatever else is handy.]
Ein prosit, ein prosit, der gemutlichkeit...
[Hoist beer (or drink of your choice) up high.]
Ein prosit, ein prosit, der gemutlichkeit...
[Repeat above]
Eins, Zwei, Drei, G'suffa..
[Upon each count, lower and then raise your beer. At "G'suffa" raise once more and drink!]
[this next part is optional...zicke = "tsickeh" (as in 'eh', not 'ay'), zacka = "tsackah"]
Zicke, zacka, zicke, zacka...hoy, hoy, hoy,
Zicke, zacka, zicke, zacka...hoy, hoy, hoy...
[as an option yell "chimo!" here to end it OR do the extended dance-mix version which continues as follows]
Zicke,Zicke,Zicke (pause) zacka,zacka,zacka,
Zicke (pause) Zicke (pause) zacka (pause) zacka,
Zicke, zacka, zicke, zacka...hoy, hoy, hoy...chimo! Prosit!
[Whew! Confused? Hell, so are we!]
-----------------
Well, it sounds like after singing the song thru a couple of times, everyone' so soused they won't notice if you do it wrong.
