If you like Hungarian food,
They have a goulash which is very good
Or if you wish a dish that's Chinese,
Somewhere down in Column B, there's lobster Cantonese

Enchiladas, that's what people eat in Mexico
Shish kebab is skewered, in Armenia you know
Then there's blubber, the favorite of the frigid Eskimo
Such delicious dishes, no matter where you go

Chicken cacciatore is Italian
Kangaroo souffle must be Australian
Mutton chops are definitely British
Chicken soup undoubtedly is Yiddish

Pumpernickel comes from Lithuania
Hassenpfeffer comes from Pennsylvania
Wiener schnitzel's Austrian or German
Kindly pass the sauerbraten, Herman

Borscht is what they're eating in the Soviet
Wait, I think we've got some on the stove yet
See the Mau Maus underneath the jungle sky
Jolly Mau Maus, eating missionary pie

Frenchmen eat a lot of bouillabaisse there
Dutchmen eat a sauce called Hollandaise there
Smorgasbord in Swedish is the winner
In America it's TV dinner

So there you have one food from each land
Each one delicious, each one simply grand
Mix them all up, in one big mish mash
And what have you got? Hungarian goulash
