I could not help adding my comments.
We have the 1922 player piano which belonged to my husband's
grandfather, Phillip Grossart who was born in Tscherwenka, Batschka.
And one of our favorite rolls which came with it is Schnitzel-Bank.
The end sticker has this information:
Schnitzel-Bank: Humoristiches Lied, words and music by Alphonse and
Gaston, Copyright The Groene Music Pub. Co., 1914
I am glad that someone else found the words so I don't need to hand
roll through it to copy the lyrics. It is a fun song.
