by Fritz Rohrer (1848 - 1926)

Trio
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rheinberger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kätzchen liegt am Ofenplätzchen,
Schnurrt und murrt sein Schlummerlied,
Und die scharfen Krallentätzchen
Fein es in die Pfötchen zieht.
Augen, Ohren, wie verloren
Schlafen ruhig, regenmüd.

Mäuschen nascht im Speisehäuschen,
Raspelt, knaspelt Zuckerbrot,
Aber hinterm Besensträußchen
Eine schlimme Falle droht.
Mehl und Zucker, armer Schlucker,
Bringen dich in große Not.

Häschen, grüße mir dein Bäschen,
Haust und schmaust mir nur in Ruh,
Habt ja beide kluge Näschen,
Dicke Freundschaft auch dazu.
Kohl und Rübchen, schlaue Bübchen,
Stehn mit euch auf du und du.
