Es flogen drei Enten wohl über den Rhein
Mit ihren drei goldenen Schnäbelein.
Die erste hieß Frau Mäs,
Die andere Frau Päs,
Dir dritte Frau Tricktracktrilli .
Hm, hm, sprach Frau Mäs zur Frau Päs,
Was hat die Frau Tricktracktrilliäs
Für ein dickes Gesäß!

Three ducks flew...
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Three ducks flew over the Rhine,
How their three golden beaks did shine!
The first was a Missus Rather Fat,
The second a Missus Double That,
The third, Miss Tick-Tock-Doofus-Duck.
Ha! said Rather Fat to Double That,
Miss Tick-Tock-Doofus-Duck
Has a butt so fat, I'm thunderstruck!
Rhymed paraphrase.
