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'!
