We thought this very funny; we said that his serious manner made the song even funnier. We continued to laugh and he became even more serious and then he seemed to become very angry He scowled at all of us (except at the two young men whom he could not see). That really made us laugh! We told each other that it was the funniest thing we had ever seen. The words alone, we said, were hilarious, but together with his mock seriousness - oh, it was too much!
The last part of the song was the best. The German professor looked at us with such anger and ferocity that if the two students had not told us that it was a comic song, we would have been nervous. The last notes of the song were so dad that we would have cried, if we hadn't known it was a funny song.
