2. Die Schnupftabaksdose  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es war eine Schnupftabaksdose,
Die hatte Friedrich der Große
Sich selbst geschnitzelt aus Nußbaumholz.
Und darauf war sie natürlich stolz.

Da kam ein Holzwurm gekrochen.
Der hatte Nußbaum gerochen.
Die Dose erzählte ihm lang und breit
Von Friedrich dem Großen und seiner Zeit.

Sie nannte den alten Fritz generös.
Da aber wurde der Holzwurm nervös
Und sagte, indem er zu bohren begann:
"Was geht mich Friedrich der Große an!"

Text Authorship:

  • by Hans Bötticher (1883 - 1934), as Joachim Ringelnatz, "Die Schnupftabaksdose", appears in Die Schnupftabacksdose - Stumpfsinn in Versen, first published 1912
