Bij 't rijden op de knie

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Plattdeutsch

Opa wou rijden
Maar hij had geen paard;
Oma nam ’n geitenbok,
Zette daar opa op,
Liet hem zo rijden.
 
Opa wou rijden,
Maar hij had geen toom;
Oma nam ´n hemdenzoom,
Gaf opa die als toom,
Liet hem zo rijden.
 
Opa wou rijden,
Maar had geen kalot;
Oma nam´n gruttenpot,
Gaf hem die als kalot,
Liet hem zo rijden.
 
Opa wou rijden,
Maar had er geen zadel;
Oma nam ‘n lindeblad,
Plakte ‘t op opa´s gat,
Liet hem zo rijden.
