by August Kopisch (1799 - 1853)

Die Flasch' ist eine Henne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Flasch' ist eine Henne, 
Macht immer gluck gluck gluck! 
Die Gläser sind die Küchlein,
Holt jedes seinen Schluck.
Und ist der Spaß zu End',
Sie hin zum Fasse rennt;
Da ist der alte Hahn,
Der fängt sogleich zu krähen an: 
    Kitterikih! kitterikih! 
Und läuft und läuft und wird nicht matt 
Und giebt der Henne was er hat. 
    Kitterikih! Gluck gluck! 
    Kitterikih! Gluck gluck! 

(Da capo, nachdem getrunken worden.)
