by Friedrich Güll (1812 - 1879)

Hanswurst
Language: German (Deutsch) 
I bin der Hans Wurst,
hab' alleweil Durst
und Hunger, au weh!
von der Nas' bis zur Zeh'!

Was hab' i für'n Kleid?
Nit eng und nit weit!
Wo schlaf' i? Im Stroh!
Und doch bin i froh!

Und hör' i a Geig',
so zappel' i gleich;
da hüpft mir vor Lust
mein Herz in der Brust.

Und schleicht ungefähr
Herr Griesgram daher,
so mach' i 'nen Streich,
da lacht er ja gleich!

Und seh' i e Kind,
so lauf' i geschwind
und mach' einen Sprung,
da schäkert der Jung'!

O tät's in der Welt
nur regnen das Geld,
da wär' meine Seel'
noch 'mal so fidel.
