by Heinrich Stieglitz (1801 - 1849)

Champagnerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn das [Atlant'sche]1 Meer
Lauter Champagner wär',
Möcht' ich ein Haifisch sein;
Schlürfte nur Wellen ein. 

Wenn das Atlant'sche Meer
Lauter Champagner wär', 
Wär' ich viel liebe noch
Ein Schiff mit großem Loch. 

Ging' ich [dann auch]2 zu Grund, 
Schlürft' in der letzten Stund
Ich deinen Schaum noch ein,
[Glühender]3 Champagnerwein!
