This reminds me of a song my daddy used to sing...
"The Goddamned Dutch" (aka "The Souse Family" or "Drunk Last Night") is a traditional drinking song found among Hash House Harriers, rugby players and fraternities. Also known as "Glorious", it first appeared in the book Gentleman About Town, Immortalia in 1927.
-
- Drunk last night. Drunk the night before,
- Gonna get drunk tonight like I never been drunk before,
- For when I'm drunk I'm as happy as can be;
- For I am a member of the Diveley family,
- Now the Diveley family is the best family
- That ever came over from Old Germany.
- With the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch;
- And the Rotterdam Dutch, and the God damned Dutch.
-
- Now when God made the Dutch, he didn't make much;
- But he surely made 'em better than the Rotterdam Dutch
- Sing Glorious!
- Sing Glorious!
- Sing one keg of beer for the four of us!
- Sing and glory be to God that there are no more of us;
- For one of us can drink it all alone! - Damn Quick!
