3. Das Krokodil zu Singapur  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im heil'gen Teich zu Singapur
Da liegt ein altes Krokodil
Von äußerst grämlicher Natur
Und kaut an einem Lotosstiel.

Es ist ganz alt und völlig blind,
Und wenn es einmal friert des Nachts,
So weint es wie ein kleines Kind,
Doch, wenn ein schöner Tag ist, lacht's.
