It Takes the Irish to Beat the Dutch is a song written in 1903 by Edward Madden and Theodore Morse. The song has several verses, each of them filled with stereotypical Irish bragging about their supposed superiority to Germans ("Dutch" in old-fashioned terminology). The chorus is in the form of a Limerick. Sample lyric: :''The Germans are a mighty race improving every year'' :''They lead the world in science, sauerkraut, and lager beer'' :''But there's a race surpassing them in this world and the next'' :''And on the tomb of Germany someday you'll read this text'' :''It takes the Irish to beat the Dutch'' :''What the Irish can't accomplish it don't amount to much'' :''With their scientific tricks'' :''They could never fool the Micks'' :''You can bet it takes the Irish to beat the Dutch'' ==External links== *(One of Billy Murray's recordings of the song ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It Takes the Irish to Beat the Dutch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
