  *++Lyrics:|\\
Vat gare I for a den cend pie,\\
No madder of ids made oud of cheese,\\
So long vat I have mine goot Rhine vine,\\
I'll laugh und do just vat I blease,\\
Never gare I how de dimes may go,\\
Zinzinnatti, Oh, hi-o!\\
Bully goot Rhine vine does freely flow,\\
Oh, I oh, I oh....\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Rhine vine Sharley vas my name,\\
Und from Germany I game;\\
Ven I go oud obon a spree,\\
Drinking Rhine vine yust suids me.\\
\\
De beobles may of lager dalk,\\
Und dold you dot it will make you stoud.\\
Venever I drink a keg of it,\\
Id makes me sick of my stomach oud:\\
Down ad a pank vat dey gall "Faro,"\\
Oh, I oh, Oh, I oh,\\
Bully old Rhine vine is dere I know,\\
Oh, I oh, I oh....\\
\\
Vite vines are vite, pegause dere vite,\\
De red indeed is alzo red,\\
But Rhine vine is de sduff, you know,\\
Pegause id don't fly indo your head;\\
Some beoble god drunk on viskey I know,\\
Oh, I oh, I oh....\\
\\
So gome, who'll lend me fifdeen cends,\\
Und to-nide I vill go on a spree,\\
Und ven I'm full, I'll give a doast\\
To Villiam, de Emperor of Germany.\\
For de fighting in Europe, not long ago,\\
Oh, I oh, Oh, I oh,\\
Vas all apout de Rhine, you know,\\
Oh, I oh, I oh....\\
