Schlaf', Püppchen, schlaf',
Schlafe in Ruh'
Schlaf', Püppchen, schlaf',
Und mach die Äuglein zu!
Darfst nicht lesen und schreiben,
Kannst im Bettchen bleiben
Morgen so wie heut,
Hast dazu die Zeit.
Schlaf', Püppchen, schlaf',
Schlafe in Ruh'
Schlaf', Püppchen, schlaf',
Und mach die Äuglein zu!
Liegst du still and schläfst du brav,
Sing ich dir vom kleinen Schafe,
Sing ich dir vom Watschelgänschen,
Mit dem Wickelwackelschwänzchen.
Schlaf', Püppchen, schlaf'!

Sleep, dolly, sleep!
Sleep in peace,
Sleep, dolly, sleep!
And close your little eyes!
You must not read or write,
You may stay in your bed
Tomorrow as today,
Because you have time for that.
Sleep, dolly, sleep!
Sleep in peace,
Sleep, dolly, sleep!
And close your little eyes!
If you lie still and sleep dutifully,
I shall sing to you about the little sheep,
I shall sing to you about the waddling goose
With the wiggly waggly tail.
Sleep, dolly, sleep!
