“ For ve vas vanderers, Fritz und I, Und sdrangers in der town. Some beoples gife us dings to eadt, Und some dey kicks us oudt, Und say, "You don'd got peesnis here To sdroll der schtreets aboudt!" Vot's dot you say ? — you puy mine tog To gife me pread to eadt! I vas so boor as nefer vas, But I vas no "tead peat." Vot, sell mine tog, mine leedle tog, Dot vollows me aboudt, Und vags his dail like anydings Vene'er I dakes him oudt? Schust look at him, und see him schump! He likes me pooty vell; Und dere vas somedings 'bout dot tog, Mynheer, I vouldn't sell. "Der collar?" ”
