Lyrics
Chorus:
The King of England danced
With the President of France
The Crown Prince of Germany
Danced with the King of Hungary
They all laid down their swords
While the different Dukes and Lords
All shouted “We don’t want any more talk of war talk”
They started drinking to each other like brothers
They drank a toast to each other’s flag
The Russian Czar said to the Kaiser
“Let’s drink some Budweiser”
Then he shook his hand while a German band
Played an American rag
Performance
