Q&A
The Duke of Dubuque Lyrics
Well I'm known near and far
As the cousin to the czar
I'm the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
It's well understood
That my credit is no good (no good, no good)
I'm the Duke of Dubuque
And if you don't believe me and tell me it ain't true
I've only got one answer
That answer's' "botsch" to you!
For now, au revoir, I must write the dear old czar
I'm the Duke of Dubuque
I'm descended from the Romanovs in Russia
In the books my father was the czar of Prussia
But he sailed away one day
To the state of Iowa
That's how you'll find me in the USA
I'm the crackers, I'm the cheese
Yeah call them Oak hounds, if you please
'Cause I'm the Duke
Yes, I'm the Duke of Dubuque
Yeah I'm wrackin'
Wrackin' my brains baby
So give me, give me some of that gravy
'Cause I'm the Duke
I said I'm the Duke of Dubuque
And if you don't believe me and tell me it ain't true
I've only got one answer
That answer's nuts to you!
For now, fun to do, can you spare a buck or two?
I'm the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
He's the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
He's the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
(He is the Duke of Dubuque)
Yes, I'm the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque
Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque
As the cousin to the czar
I'm the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
It's well understood
That my credit is no good (no good, no good)
I'm the Duke of Dubuque
And if you don't believe me and tell me it ain't true
I've only got one answer
That answer's' "botsch" to you!
For now, au revoir, I must write the dear old czar
I'm the Duke of Dubuque
In the books my father was the czar of Prussia
But he sailed away one day
To the state of Iowa
That's how you'll find me in the USA
I'm the crackers, I'm the cheese
Yeah call them Oak hounds, if you please
'Cause I'm the Duke
Yes, I'm the Duke of Dubuque
Wrackin' my brains baby
So give me, give me some of that gravy
'Cause I'm the Duke
I said I'm the Duke of Dubuque
I've only got one answer
That answer's nuts to you!
I'm the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
He's the Duke, Duke of Dubuque
(He is the Duke of Dubuque)
Yes, I'm the Duke, the Duke of Dubuque
Doo dat doo dat doo dat Dubuque
