The Lyrics

Oldest comic series ever and longest in syndication. German immigrant Rudolph Dirks idea drawn by Knerr. First to use dialogue balloons since 1912.
I don't want to straighten up, I'm a Katzenjammer Kid
There's just a million things that I can get away with
I don't want to rise above, I'm a Katzenjammer Kid
Why be the best? Settle for less, and at least I'm not a Yid

Tykes play games and bring on shame
Spanking leads to discipline???

I don't want to straighten up, because if I did
They'd put me in the Heer with a lobster-tailed lid
Kaiser sway, rifle K, OK
Western swine to get rid

How I miss the days of Katzenjammer Kids...

I think Playboy did a gag on this as Krautzenbummer Kids- 5s for bringing it all back to me

NP, should have pointed out that this is based on German version anyway. Playboy did adult version in 1980 IIRC...

The Katzenjammer Kids is still today published weekly in Finnish "Seura" magazine. Fives.
