Limburger Cheese lyrics

Oh, that men should try

Their curiousity, their need

For nourishment varied

To try such a fermentation

Née, the Duchy of Limburg

A scent filled scourge

For six centuries haunting

The sills of the reluctant

Those Brevibacterium linenes

The very same of a dirty foot

Ancestral barnyard cheese

With a grin their words still ring

This semisoft delicacy shared

By generations fondly recalled

With laughter and love of stench

On rye, with onions, and such

Manna from heaven for us

Though sentiments not shared

This Frommage de Hevre grand

That mellows in a short span

A world that passed long ago

Its recollected pungent aroma

Wafts through a sensitive palate

With tears of delectable putrid joy
