Hey, your version of Johnny Rebeck is sanitized! I grew up singing what I assume is the original version:
"Oh, once there was a Dutchman/His name was Johnny Rebeck/He was a dealer in sausages and sauerkraut and speck"
(Speck is a German food)
So it's a xenophobic song. Sort of a precursor to the urban legend about the local Chinese restaurant serving cat.
Um. . . I sing it to my day care kids.
