by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

«Wir haben dir Klatsch auf Geklatsche...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Publikum
 «Wir haben dir Klatsch auf Geklatsche gemacht,
 Wie schief!
 Und haben dich schnell in die Patsche gebracht,
 Wie tief!
 Wir lachen dich aus,
 Nun hilf dir heraus!
 Ade.»

Herr Ego
 Und red ich dagegen, so wird nur der Klatsch
 Verschlimmert;
 Mein liebliches Leben im nichtigen Patsch
 Verkümmert.
 Schon bin ich heraus;
 Ich mach mir nichts draus. Ade.

E. Křenek sets stanza 1
