Der Irrtum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei Schmidts ist's wieder mal soweit,
sie haben heft'gen Ehestreit.
"Ich geh ins Wasser," ruft sie laut
und eilt ganz schnell, und eilt ganz schnell,
und eilt ganz schnell von dannen.

Er hat ihr lange nachgeschaut,
er träumt davon seit langem,
davon träumt er seit langem. -

Und später findet er sie dann,
sie plätschert in dem Bade. -

Auf nichts man sich verlassen kann,
bei Frauen.   Ach. wie schade !
