Der Braten der schmort schön in Butter und Fett,

About the cat Stubby‑tail
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The roast is already sizzling in butter and fat,
Babette takes it off the fire and sets it on the floor.
The cat Stubby-tail quickly lifts the lid
And, through the sauce, drags the roast up the stairs to the loft.
