Von Bismarck vas a man of might,
Und dought he vas glean oud auf sight,
But, ach! he vas nicht goot to fight
Mit me—und Gott.
Ve knock him like ein man auf straw,
Ve let him know whose vill vas law,
Und dot ve don'd vould standt his jaw,
Meinself—und Gott.
Ve send him oudt in big disgrace,
Ve giff him insuldt to his face,
Und put Caprivi in his place,
Meinself—und Gott.
Und ven Caprivi get svelled headt,
Ve very bromptly on him set,
Und toldt him to get up und get—
Meinself—und Gott.
Dere's grandma dinks she's nicht shmall beer,
Mit Boers und dings she interfere;
She'll learn none runs dis hemisphere
But me—und Gott.
She dinks, goot frau, some ships she's got,
Und soldiers mit der sgarlet coat,
Ach! we could knock dem—pouf! like dot,
Meinself—und Gott.
