Von der Hummel
 (Sung text for setting by J. Kinkel)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O Hummel, dicke Hummel,
Was fliegst du mit Gebrummel,
Was fliegst du mit Gebrummel
Im Garten hin und her;
Hm hm hm hm hm.
 
Sobald die Balsaminen
Und Astern nur erschienen,
Sobald sie nur erschienen
Säufst du sie alle leer;
Hm hm hm hm hm.
 
Du singest durch die Nase
Wie unsre alte Base,
So singst du durch die Nase,
Du kleiner Brummelbär,
Hm hm hm hm hm.
