's Spätzli
 (Sung text for setting by H. Goetz)
 See original
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch) 
Schätzeli, mys Schätzeli!
Gschau, dert flüügt es Spätzeli,
Gschau, es sitzt uf's Nachbers Huus,
Lueget dert mys Gärtli uus:
Mini Ankeballe
Wend em gar nüd gfalle;
Mini Meisterlose,
Mini schöne Rose,
Mini Zinggli wyß und bla
Lueget's gar verächtli a.
Aber mit Verlange
Gseht's dert Chrieseli prange,
Spreitet syni Flügeli uus,
Flüügt druf zue vo's Nachbers Huus...
        (in die Hände klatschend)
Husch! husch! husch! husch! laß mir's stah,
's Schätzeli mueß die Chriesi ha! (bis)
