Hungarian Goulash No. 5 - Allan Sherman

If you like Hungarian food

They have a goulash which is very good

Or if you wish a dish that’s Chinese

Somewhere down in Column B there’s lobster Cantonese

Enchiladas, that’s what people eat in Mexico

Shish kebab is skewered, in Armenia you know

Then there’s blubber, the favorite of the frigid Eskimo

Such delicious dishes, no matter where you go

Chicken cacciatore is Italian

Kangaroo souffle must be Australian

Mutton chops are definitely British

Chicken soup undoubtedly is Yiddish

Pumpernickel comes from Lithuania

Hassenpfeffer comes from Pennsylvania

Wiener schnitzel’s Austrian or German

Kindly pass the sauerbraten, Herman

Borscht is what they’re eating in the Soviet

Wait, I think we’ve got some on the stove yet

See the Mau Maus underneath the jungle sky

Jolly Mau Maus, eating missionary pie

Frenchmen eat a lot of bouillabaisse there

Dutchmen eat a sauce called Hollandaise there

Smorgasbord in Swedish is the winner

In America it’s TV dinner

So there you have one food from each land

Each one delicious, each one simply grand

Mix them all up, in one big mish mash

And what have you got?

Hungarian goulash!
