Willst mal slapen, lüttje Racker
Language: Plattdeutsch 
Willst mal slapen, lüttje Racker,
Makst Du gliek de Ogen to!
Kiek, de Mand steiht all an Heben,
Un de Sünn'n geibt uf to Roh!
Möd sin jo nu alle worden,
Hund un Katt un Adebor,
Un de Blömings nicken lising, 
Un de Wind de snorkt sogor. 
Möd sin nu ok Din Kledaschen, 
Un de Strümp slöpt bi den Schob. 
Willst mal slapen, lüttje Racker,
Makst Du gliek de Ogen to!
