Onlangs zat ik in een spoortrein te reizen
En de stad Deventer lag in 't verschiet
Om mijn bekendheid daarmee te bewijzen
Schreef ik gezwind een gelegenheidslied
Deventer koek, Deventer koek
Iedere stad zucht wel onder een vloek
Deventer koek, Deventer koek
Voor het onwelkom familiebezoek
Andere plaatsen creeren jenever
Balletje, gloeilampen, kaarsen of kant
Hier evenwel als goedwillende gever
Staat men met Deventer koek in de hand
Deventer koek, Deventer koek
Is weer wat anders dan zuurstang of snoek
Deventer koek, Deventer koek
Past in de zak van geen enkele broek
Deventer koek, dat is een van de dingen
Die mij als jongetje hebben geschokt
Deventer koek zal ik blijven bezingen
Deventer koek, tot de adem mij stokt
Deventer koek, Deventer koek
Staat al sinds eeuwen als eetbaar te boek
Deventer koek, Deventer koek
Gooi hem daarom niet meteen in een hoek
