Mädchenwünsche
 (Sung text for setting by G. Hölzel)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O fände für mich
Ein Bräutigam sich!
Wie schön ist's nicht da!
Man nennt uns Mama;
Da braucht man zum Nähen,
Zur Schul' nicht zu gehen;
Da kann man befehlen,
Hat Mägde, darf schmälen,
Man wählt sich die Kleider,
Nach Gusto den Schneider;
Da läßt man spazieren,
Auf Bälle sich führen,
Und fragt nicht erst lange
Papa und Mama.

    Set to music by Gustav Adolph Hölzel (1813 - 1883), "Mädchenwünsche", op. 151
