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 Oakhounds, 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
