| 1. | Oh! Dr. Eisenbart’s my name, Val-le-ral-le-ri-di-do; | |
| My wonderful cures have give me fame, Val-le-ral-le-ri-di-do; | ||
| Oh! I can make the dumb to walk, Val-le-ral-le-ri-dandyo, | ||

| With an old hatchet I stroked his head, Val- etc. | ||
| And now the poor old cook is dead. Val- etc. | ||
| 3. | I was sent to Ulm to cure a man, Val- etc. | |
| And from his leg the blood it ran, Val- etc. | ||
| Afraid of the smallpox, he asked a cure, Val- etc. | ||

| 4. | To the Kaiser’s son in Dideldum, Val- etc. | |

| 5. | A man once came in a terrible state; Val- etc. | |
| He’d a wen on his neck, weighed a hundredweight. Val- etc. | ||
| "Oh! Dr. Eisenbart, do your best!" Val- etc. | ||
| So I roped his neck and now he’s at rest. Val- etc. | ||
