1. Die Pappel vom Karlsplatz
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine Pappel steht am Karlsplatz 
Mitten in der Trümmerstadt Berlin 
Und wenn Leute gehn übern Karlsplatz 
Sehen sie ihr freundlich Grün. 

In dem Winter sechsundvierzig 
Frorn die Menschen, und das Holz war rar 
Und es fielen da viele Bäume 
Und es wurd ihr letztes Jahr. 

Doch die Pappel dort am Karlsplatz 
Zeigt uns heute noch ihr grünes Blatt : 
Seid bedankt, Anwohner vom Karlplatz 
Daß man sie noch immer hat!

3. Das Lied vom kriegerischen Lehrer  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da war der Lehrer Huber
Der war für den Krieg, für den Krieg.
Wenn er sprach vom Alten Fritzen
Sah man sein Auge blitzen
Aber nie bei Wilhelm Pieck.
 
Da kam die Waschfrau Schmitten
Die war gegen Dreck, gegen Dreck.
Sie nahm den Lehrer Huber
Und steckt' ihn in den Zuber
Und wusch ihn einfach weg.
