You have a little weinie wurst, Jamie? Figures.

As always, you read whatever words you want to be there. The rhyme goes: "I'm the little wienie wurst," not, "I have..."

This is typical of the way you twist people's words.

I don't think it's from anything. Or if it is from something, its original source is so far back in history that it the song has outlived it. It's sung to a melody that you would find very familiar, but I don't know the name of it. You sometimes hear the melody in old Looney Tunes, but I think it must be an old circus standard.
