by Fritz Rohrer (1848 - 1926)

Storchenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Storch, Storch, Schnibel-Schnabel,
Klappert mit dem roten Sabel,
Steht auf einem hohen Turm,
Schnabulieret Frosch und Wurm.

[Storch, Storch,Wickel-Wackel,
Rose Hosen ohne Makel,]1
Rote Strümpfe hast du an,
Dass man dich gut sehen kann.

Storch, Storch, Schnacke-Mücken,
Trägt die Kindlein auf dem Rücken,
Stellt sie ab ganz still und sacht,
Da und dort in dunkler Nacht.

[Storch, Storch,Binde-Bund,
Macht die Menschen all' gesund,]1
[Geht es etwa schief und quer]2,
Kommst du mit der langen Scher.

Storch, Storch, Schlucker-Magen,
Kann das Essen gut vertragen,
Frösche zwei, drei Schneiderlein
Schnabelt er zum Frühstück ein.

[Storch, Storch,Blinder-Schleiche,
Fischt in manchem tiefen Teiche]1,
Nimmt den bösen Bub [am]3 Frack,
Steckt ihn in den Klappersack.
