Meine Herrin ist ständig am wandern, mein Rivale kann sein Glück kaum ermessen: Hat die Unschuld sie verloren beim andern, dann hat sie wohl zwei besessen. Komme, was da wolle, solange sie es will.

2. Trinklied
Die Kön’ge von Ägypten und Syrien ließen sich einbalsamieren, um länger als Tote zu halten: welch’ Narrengestalten! Lasst uns das Glas erheben, dies oftmals repetieren, lasst uns saufen das ganze Leben, uns jetzt schon einbalsamieren: Auf den Balsam, süß und heilsam!

3. Madrigal
Schön bist du wie ein Engel, süß wie ein kleines Lamm; kein Herz gibt’s, kleiner Bengel, das dir widerstehen kann. Doch ein Mädchen ohne Titten ist wie Hühnchen ohne Fritten.

Solang ich leb, dies schwöre ich, liebe ich dich, Sylvia; Parze, die du in den Händen unsern Lebensfaden hältst, spinn, solang du dies vermagst, meinen länger, bitt ich dich.

5. Bacchantische Couplets
Den ganzen Tag lang bin ich abwechselnd schlecht und gut gestimmt. Seh’ ich ’ne leere Flasche Wein, dann ist’s zum Heulen mir zumut, ist sie ganz voll, dann geht’s mir gut. Den ganzen Tag lang bin ich abwechselnd schlecht und gut gestimmt. Wenn meine Frau ins Bett mich nimmt, bin ich die ganze Nacht ganz brav. Wenn dieses eine Hure tut, dann geht’s mir richtig gut. Komm, Schöne, schenk mir nach vom Wein, dann kann ich froh und glücklich sein.

6. Die Opfergabe
Eine Kerze bringt dem Liebesgott die Jungfrau dar als Opfergabe, dass bald sie ’nen Geliebten habe. Er lächelte ob dieser Bitte und sagt, falls sie zu warten habe, könnt’ stets sie nutzen ihre Gabe.

7. Goldene Jugend
Man sollte immer Liebe machen und dies ohne Traualtar. Man sollte immer Liebe machen ohne Pfaffe und Notar. Männer, strebt nicht nach dem Ring, strebt nur nach dem Dingeling, strebt nur nach dem Dingeling, strebt nicht nach dem Ehering, zielt nur auf ihr Herz, strebt nicht nach dem Ehering, zielt nur auf ihr Herz. Warum denn an den Traualtar, wenn andrer Männer Frauen gar, sich nicht bitten lassen, mit uns sich einzulassen. Wenn sie dann ganz schmeichelhaft und mit heißer Leidenschaft suchen unser Dingeling suchen unser Dingeling suchen unser Herz.

8. Serenade
Mit einer derart schönen Hand, die soviel Reize bieten kann, die ihr vom Liebesgott gesandt, fasst du die Waffen trefflich an. Und wenn das Kind geworden schlapp, dann wische ihm die Tränen ab.
