Mein Wagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Wagen hat vier Räder,
Vier Räder hat mein Wagen,
Rolle, rolle, rummerjan,
Das wollt ich euch bloß sagen!
 
Mein Wagen hat ′ne Deichsel,
′Ne Deichsel hat mein Wagen,
Rolle, rolle, rummerjan,
Das wollt ich euch bloß sagen!
 
Mein Wagen hat ein Pferdchen,
Ein Pferdchen hat mein Wagen,
Rolle, rolle, rummerjan,
Das wollt ich euch bloß sagen!
 
Mein Wagen fährt nach Potsdam,
Nach Potsdam fährt mein Wagen,
Rolle, rolle, rummerjan,
Das wollt ich euch bloß sagen!
 
Und wer mit mir nach Potsdam will
In meinem neuen Wagen,
Rolle, rolle, rummerjan,
Der braucht es bloß zu sagen.
