In der Flasche kein Wein, 
In der Tasche kein Geld,
Und so sitz' ich allein
Ohne Freude die Welt.

Und sie tanzen geschwind
Um die Säule herum:
O du englisches Kind,
Und so sieh dich doch um! 

Wenn du liebst mich allein,
Wird die Tasche voll Geld,
Wird die Flasche voll Wein,
Und voll Freude die Welt!
