Let’s join in a dance circle
Vile hearts, dirty hands!
The profiteer, the typhus louse
And an obscene bribe, too
Let’s wrap around the globe
Death accompanies: hop! hop! hop!
Soon the carnival will end
So everyone wants to romp,
The profiteer, the typhus louse
And an obscene bribe, too
Death plays along
Hop to it! hi! hi! hi!
(Szczutek, Lwów, 1920) (No bonus points for noting that the profiteer is caricatured as Jewish.)
