by Paula Dehmel (1862 - 1918)

Die bösen Beinchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Guten Morgen, ihr Beinchen!
Wie heißt ihr denn?
Ich heiße Hampel,
ich heiße Strampel,
und das ist das Füßen Übermut,
und das ist das Füßen Tu-nicht-gut!
Übermut und Tu-nicht-gut gehn auf die Reise,
Platsch, durch alle Sümpfe,
naß sind Schuh und Strümpfe,
Guckt die Rute um die Eck,
laufen alle beide weg!
