Geburtstag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da kommen wir mit Flöten,
mit Pauken und Trompeten,
   deng dedereng deng deng.
Trompeter, blast nicht schlecht,
Tambour, schlag den Wirbel recht!
   Bum buburum bum bum,
   tatatata deng,
   buburum bum bum.

Ich will den Wirbel schlagen,
alle Leute sollen fragen!
   Bum buburum bum bum!
Hört nur, wenn ihr's noch nicht wisst,
dass heute Gretchens Geburtstag ist.
   Bum buburum bum bum,
   tatatata deng,
   buburum bum bum.

Nun soll sie wohl erwachen,
Trompet' und Trommel krachen,
   hau wau wau bau bau!
Ei, Hofhund, so schweige du!
Dich brauchen wir nicht dazu!
   Bum buburum bum bum,
   hau wau bau bau,
   buburum bum bum.
