Sylvester
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rheinberger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sylvester, steh auf,
Land ab und Land auf;
Du Fauler, du Später,
Du Schlafmützenpeter,
Du Bettmurmeltier!

Sylvester, heraus,
In Hutte und Haus
Die Mädel, die Buben,
Mit Bütten und Zuben,
Sie rüsten dein Bad!

Sylvester, komm her,
Du Schlafzottelbär,
In Topf und in Teller,
In Küche und Keller,
Da wird heut geschleckt!

Sylvester, gut Nacht,
Sankt Nikolaus wacht,
Der bringt eine gute,
Vortreffliche Rute:
Sylvester, steh auf!
