Vom Federvieh

Haberkörnchen will ich streuen,
Dass sich all die Küchlein freuen;
Dann bedankt sich Morgens früh
Schön das Hähnchen kikeriki.

Gebt ein Körbchen mir voll Wicken,
Dass die Täubchen kommen picken,
Geh' ich Abends dann zur Ruh
Grüsst das Täubchen rukediku.

Gebt mir einen dicken Brocken,
Denn ich will die Enten locken.
Auf dem klaren Weiher da,
Entchen plätschert qua qua qua qua.

Kikeriki rukedi rukediku
Kikeriki rukedi rukediku
Qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua
Kikeriki.

About the feathered creatures

I shall strew oats
So that all the little chicks are happy;
Then early in the morning
The cock shall thank me, cockadoodledoo.
 
Give me a little basket full of vetches
That the doves may come pick at it,
When I then go to bed at night
The dove greets me, roocoodoo.
 
Give me a thick piece of bread,
For I wish to lure the ducks.
Upon the limpid pond there,
The little duck dabbles, quack quack quack quack..
 
Cockadoodledoo roocoodee roocoodoo
Cockadoodledoo roocoodee roocoodoo
Quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack
Cockadoodledoo.
