by (Karl) Julius Lohmeyer (1835 - 1903)

Weh, da kommt sie mit dem Schwamme
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weh, da kommt sie mit dem Schwamme
Und dem großen Wasserkrug,
Mit der Seife, mit dem Kamme,
Ach, und mit dem Zotteltuch!

Nein, ich kann es nicht begreifen,
Wie ihr das Vergnügen macht,
Mich zu rumpeln und zu seifen,
Und warum sie immer lacht.

Wenn doch einer was erfände,
Daß das Wasser nicht so naß,
Und man trocken wüsch' am Ende;
Eine rechte Lust wär' das!
