They sang about Mr. & Mrs. John O'Beck. Oh Mr. & Mrs. John O'Beck How could you be so mean We knew you'd get in trouble for inventin that machine Now all the neighbor's cats and dogs will never more be seen They've all been ground to sausages in John O'Beck's machine One Day a little Dutch boy came walking in the store He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor He started to whistle .. he whistled up a tune and all the little sausages they danced around the room One day the machine got busted the darn thing wouldn't go so John O'Beck he climbed inside to see what made it so His wife she had a nightmare went walkin in her sleep She gave the crank a heckuva yank and John O'Beck was meat. I remember the song as an old Irish tune my Dad and uncles used to sing when I was little. They sang about Mr. & Mrs. John O’Beck.
Oh Mr. & Mrs. John O’Beck
How could you be so mean
We knew you’d get in trouble
for inventin that machine
Now all the neighbor’s cats and dogs
will never more be seen
They’ve all been ground to sausages
in John O’Beck’s machine
One Day a little Dutch boy came walking in the store
He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor
He started to whistle .. he whistled up a tune
and all the little sausages they danced around the room
One day the machine got busted the darn thing wouldn’t go
so John O’Beck he climbed inside to see what made it so
His wife she had a nightmare went walkin in her sleep
She gave the crank a heckuva yank and John O’Beck was meat.

Your cat scaress me. p.s. Did you finish the mural on The Dotter's wall? I wanna see. In fact, give us a tour of the new Omega homestead. You know I like to travel....I want to know where I can bunk. ;-) I, too, am dreaming of a laundry chute. Your cat scaress me.

Wanted to incorporate one when we remodeled, but 'twas not to be. Am absolutely sure I have never heard that song. If it wasn't so old, (sorry GJ) I'd think it was Shel Silverstein..

We live in a first floor apartment and our cat has made friends with a stray through the screen door. Our cat is a fraidy cat and really has never been outside, but somehow the two of them have figured out how to open the screen door, and they look nearly identical (both black with white paws and chests), and last week they pulled a switcheroo -- my cat somehow ended up outside on the balcony while the other cat was inside. Nearly gave me a heart attack! My cat is just itching for a repeat and is currently curled up by the back door waiting for one of us to look the other way while he and his buddy plan another "Parent Trap"-like switch on us.

This is my memory of the song. I can now go read yours, because they are clearly the same, only not. I love the idea of the cat dropping down the chute. When we bought this house there was a chute from the bathroom (main floor) to the laundry (just below in the basement) but none from the second floor (bedrooms). When we remodeled the bath we actually, um, ditched the chute, if only because it didn't really help all that much, and we knew we were adopting and all I could imgine was all the stuff a 2-year-old would put down that chute. Dunderbeck oh Dunderbeck
how could you be so mean?
to ever have invented
your sausage meat machine?
now all the neighbors cats and dogs
will never more be seen
’cause they’ve been ground to sausage meat
in Dunderbeck’s machine!
