Bowl away! bowl away!

Bowl away! bowl away! Fast as you can; He who can fastest bowl, He is my man! Up and down, round about,— Don't let it fall; Ten times, or twenty times, Beat, beat them all!

Our translations: ENG
Schlaget den Reifen, Lustige Schaar! Lauft um die Wette Hurtig fürwahr! Wer ist gefallen? Helft ihm nur auf, Schnell wieder lachen, Weiter im Lauf! Immer geschwinder Geht's nun im Lauf, Fallt nicht, ihr Kinder, Passet nur auf! Reifen, nun eil' dich Ohn' Rast und Ruh', Nimmer verweil' dich, Sonst schlag' ich zu!
