Challange number one

Mike, Sam, Bill, Sue

For all those experts who can use the internet better than I
can. That should include everyone.

When I was growing up my father would sing a song to us
that included some of the following. The title may have been
Ole Dunderback.

Some of the words included pussy cats and long tailed rats.

Another part included the following "Ole Dunderback, Ole
Dunderback how could you be so mean as to grind up all
the little boys and girls up in the sausage grinding machine".

Thats all I remember. The challange is to get on the internet
and find the title and the complete song.

  2. Here's one version I found:

    Mr. Dunderback

    There was a man in our town
    His name was Dunderback
    He was very fond of sauerkraut and spat
    One day he invented a wonderful sausage machine
    And all the neighbors cats and dogs would never more be seen.

    CHORUS:
    Oh, Mr., Mr. Dunderback
    How could you be so mean
    I told you'd be sorry for inventing that machine
    Now all the neighbors cats and dogs will never more be seen
    They'll all be ground to sausage meat in Dunderback's machine.

    One day a little boy came walking in the store
    He bought a pound of sausage meat and laid it on the floor
    The boy began to whistle, and whistled up a tune
    And all the little sausages went dancing around the room

    CHORUS

    One day the darn thing wouldn't work
    The darn thing wouldn't go
    So Dunderback he climbed inside to see what made it so
    His wife was having a nightmare, walking in her sleep
    She gave the crank a heck of a yank and Dunderback was meat.

    CHORUS

    Back To the Top

    an excellent start. Thanks.

  4. There was a man named Dunderbeck, invented a machine,
    For grinding things to sausage meat and it was run by steam.
    Now kitchen cats and long-tailed rats will never more be seen,
    They'll all be ground to sausage meat in Dunderbeck's machine.

    Oh Dunderbeck, oh Dunderbeck, how could you be so mean
    To ever have invented the sausage meat machine?
    Now long tailed rats and pussy cats will never more be seen,
    They'll all be ground to sausage meat in Dunderbeck's machine.

    One day a little fat boy came walking in the store.
    He bought a pound of sausage and laid them on the floor.
    Then he began to whistle, he whistled up a tune,
    The sausages, they jumped, they barked, they danced 'round the room.

    One day the thing got busted, the darn thing wouldn't go,
    And Dunderbeck, he crawled inside to see what made it so.
    His wife, she had a nightmare, she was walking in her sleep
    She gave a yank and turned the crank and Dunderbeck was meat.

    Oh Dunderbeck, oh Dunderbeck, how could you be so mean
    To ever have invented the sausage meat machine?
    Now long tailed rats and pussy cats will never more be seen,
    They'll all be ground to sausage meat in Dunderbeck's machine.
