by Detlev von Liliencron (1844 - 1909)

Viere lang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Viere lang,
Zum Empfang,
Vorne Jean,
Elegant,
    Fährt meine süße Lady.

Schilderhaus,
Wache raus.
Schloßportal,
Und im Saal
    Steht meine süße Lady.

Hofmarschall,
Pagenwall.
Sehr graziös,
Merveillös
    Knixt meine süße Lady.

Königin,
Hoher Sinn.
Ihre Hand,
Interessant,
    Küßt meine süße Lady.

Viere lang,
Vom Empfang,
Vorne Jean,
Elegant, 
    Kommt meine süße Lady.

Nun wie war's
Heut bei Czars?
Ach, ich bin
Noch ganz hin,
    Haucht meine süße Lady.

Nach und nach,
Allgemach,
Ihren Mann
Wieder dann
    Kennt meine süße Lady.
