A little Dutch soldier come down from Rhine,
Snap-poo
And up to a whorehouse and ordered some wine,
Snap-pee, snap-pi, snap fidam go shem, salt pork and potatoes goddam
Oh soldier oh soldier my daughter's too young,
Snap-poo
Oh soldier oh soldier my daughter's too young
To be screwed by a soldier with a [schlong] like a gun
Oh mother oh mother I'm not too young
I've often been screwed by Mike and John
Snap-pee, snap-pi, snap fidam go shem, salt pork and potatoes goddam
