As some of my friends know, my original last name was "Erbeck". Which is why I was amused to find this campfire song posted on rec.scouting

Old Mr. Johnny Erbeck

CHORUS:
Old Mr. Johnny Erbeck, how could you be so mean?
I knew you would be sorry for inventing that machine.
Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs will never more be seen.
They'll all be ground to sausages in Johnny Erbeck's machine.

There once was a sausage man, his name was Johnny Erbeck.
He was the king of sausages, he sold them by the peck.
One day he invented a wonderful sausage machine.
Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs will never more be seen. HEY! (Chorus)

Once a boy went walking, he walked into the store.
He bought a pack of sausages, laid them on the floor.
The boy began to whistle, he whistled a happy tune.
And all the little sausages danced around the room. HEY! (Chorus)

One day the machine was busted, it just wouldn't go.
So Johnny Erbeck crawled up inside to see what made it so.
His wife had a nightmare, walking in her sleep.
She grabbed the crank, gave it a yank, and Johnny Erbeck was meat. HEY! (chorus)
