Herr Lenz

Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Herr Lenz springt heute durch die Stadt
In einer blauen Hose.
Und wer zwei junge Beine hat,
Springt säftefroh, springt sonnensatt
Und kauft sich bei ihm Lose.

Dort biegt er um das Giebelhaus,
Die Taschen voller Gaben,
Da strecken sich die Hände aus,
Ein jeder möchte einen Strauß,
Fürs liebe Mädel haben.

Ich hole mir auch einen Schatz
Hinweg von Glas und Schüssel.
Hut auf! Wir rennen übern Platz:
Herr Lenz, für ihren Busenlatz
Ein' gelben Himmelsschlüssel!
