by Friedrich Wilhelm Gubitz (1786 - 1870)

Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Randolph (singt)
 Wer stets hinter'n Ofen kroch,
 Wer noch nimmer Pulver roch,
 Hat verfaultes Leben;
 Feinden nach durch Wald und Kluft,
 Aus der Welt geknallt den Schuft,
 Das ist köstlich Streben!

Chor.
 Schlagt und wagt und lebt euch satt,
 Eh' euch Staub zur Beute hat.
