Another cross-country driving song of the early '60s:

When you hear the roll of the big bass drum,
Then you will know that the Deitsch have come,
For the Deitsch Company is the best company
That ever came over from old Germany

Ho-ra! Ho-ra! Ho-ra-la-la-la-la!
Ho-ra! Ho-ra! Ho-ra-la-la-la-la!
[two lines forgotten]
Eins mein eusters raw!

Emendations?

That's a variant of DRUNK LAST NIGHT, which is on DT. They sing, "Souse family" My mother always sang "Dutch Company." Same thing.

Thanks, amphibian! My parents didn't drink so I never saw the connection.
