“ On Central Park a shmardt young man Says, "Strauss, bow vas you peen?" Und dake me kindly py der hand, Und ask off mine Katrine. He vants to shange a feefty bill, Und says hees name vas Schneider— Maype, berhaps he vas all righdt; More like he vas a shpider. Mosd efry day some shvindling chap, He dries hees leedle game; I cuts me oudt dot shpider biece, Und poot id in a frame; Righdt in mine shtore I hangs id oup, Und near id, on der shly, I geeps a glub, to send gvick oudt Dhose shpiders "on der fly." ”
