Guten Morgen, ihr Beinchen! Wie heißt ihr denn? Ich heiße Hampel, ich heiße Strampel, und das ist das Füßen Übermut, und das ist das Füßen Tu-nicht-gut! Übermut und Tu-nicht-gut gehn auf die Reise, Platsch, durch alle Sümpfe, naß sind Schuh und Strümpfe, Guckt die Rute um die Eck, laufen alle beide weg!

The naughty little legs
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Good morning, dear leggies! What are you named? My name is Scamper, my name is Tramper, and this here is footie Mischievous, and this here is footie Riotous. Mischievous and Riotous went on a journey, splash, puddles walking, wet each shoe and stocking; seeing trouble now to pay, both the rascals run away!
From the Blech score.
