Verfehlte Werbung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Holdseeligste, wonnebang, 
Singt uns fröhlichen Minnesang
Tief in Trauer 
Sitzt auf der Lauer
Im süßen Schauer!
Der Heckenhauer!

Mal du den Gartenzaun nur hübsch nau
Du bekommst doch nicht mehr eine Frau!
Spar' die Triebe
Deiner Liebe!
Thu' nur auf uns nicht bau'n,
Sondern auf Andre schau'n!

Weiß doch nicht[,] werben wirst um mich,
Da müßt' ich sterben sicherlich!
Seÿ gescheit
Und mach mir die Freud'
S'wär doch zu sauer
O Heckenhauer!
