Männer suchen stets zu naschen, Läßt man sie allein, Leicht sind Mädchen zu erhaschen, [Weiß]1 man sie zu überraschen; Soll das [zu verwundern]2 sein? [Mädchen]3 haben frisches Blut, Und das Naschen schmeckt so gut. Doch das Naschen vor dem Essen Nimmt den Appetit. Manche kam, die das vergessen, Um den Schatz, den sie besessen, Und um ihren Liebsten mit. Väter, läßt's euch Warnung sein: [Sperrt die Zuckerplätzchen ein! Sperrt die jungen Mädchen ein!]4

Mannen zoeken steeds te snoepen, Laat men ze alleen, Licht zijn meisjes mee te schoepen, Als iets leuks je weet te roepen; Ja, dat weet toch iedereen? Meisjes hebben 'n lekk're toet En het snoepen smaakt zo goed. Maar het snoepen vóór het eten Dempt de appetijt. Menig wicht is dat vergeten, Raakt de schat, die z' heeft bezeten, En ook nog haar liefste kwijt. Vaders, let op wat ik zeg: Zet de suikerpotjes weg! Houd de jonge meisjes weg!
