Julius Streicher 

The following verses are written next to a cartoon showing a corpulent, balding Jew, sitting at his table, with a roasted goose as his main menu. A Christian parson is shown standing in front of the table, with a look of shock on his face.


Izzy the Jew raised his crafty eyes                   
"I'll go to a church and get baptized!
Then all the dumb goyim will say",
"Look! He's a Christian man today!"

"The pastor is bound to sympathize
With a Jew who asks to be baptized."
So Izzy Lipschitz went to the pastor
Never in his life had he run any faster!

The pastor blessed the crafty Jew
And said, "With this water I baptize you...
From this day forward your name shall be...
Reginald, and not Izzy..

You were a Jew but as of today
You've become a Christian, the easy way
Now promise me that you will obey
The rule I will entrust today
By the laws of our church you are bidden
ALL meat on Fridays is forbidden!
That would be a terrible crime
Which only God could forgive in time."

On the following Friday the pastor went to call
On his good friend Izzy, now a Christian to all
The door was open and the pastor walked in
And there sat Izzy, guilty as sin
The pastor shrieked, "What the deuce!?!"
Izzy was eating a whole baked goose!

The pastor was shocked and sounded unstable:
"What is that MEAT doing on your table?
You swore on Fridays that you would eat no meat!
Now atone for your sin and rise from your seat!"

Sly Izzy moaned, "Oy veh! Oy vey!
Vhy do you carry on dat way?
Dat ting you see upon my dish
Is no goose at all, it's really a fish!
I bought a goose, quite small in size
And fried it in my pan to baptize....
Later I prayed when it was on my dish:
You were once a goose, but now you're a fish!"

Now, little children, look at the Jew
Does it look like he has changed to you?
Even when baptized, its plain to see
That he doesn't look like you or me

Five buckets of water poured over his head
Will never change the way he was bred
Now pay attention little children, when I say to you,
"A Jew will always remain a Jew."
