Rataplan
 (Sung text for setting by K. Reinecke)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lasset uns marschiren, rataplan, rataplan,
Immer vorwärts, frisch voran!  
Lasset uns marschiren 
Mit den Grenadieren, 
Mit den Reiterscharen 
Und mit den Husaren, 
Rataplan, rataplan, rataplan!  

Lasset uns marschiren, rataplan, rataplan, 
Heute bin ich Leutenant. 
Wenn wir exerciren 
Mit den Grenadieren, 
Mit den Reiterscharen 
Und mit den Husaren, 
Rataplan, rataplan, rataplan!  

Lasset uns marschiren, rataplna, rataplan! 
Bleibet immer gut im Takt, 
Wenn wir exerciren  
Mit den Grenadieren, 
Mit den Reiterscharen 
Und mit den Husaren, 
Rataplan, rataplan, rataplan!
