Weil nun wieder Frühling ist, Leute, streu ich butterblumengelber Kasper [lachend]1 Lauter lilablaue Asternblüten, hei, ins helle Feld! Lilablaue Astern, liebe Leute, Astern blühn im deutschen Vaterland bekanntlich bloß im Herbst. [Aber]1 ich, ich butterblumengelber Kasper, streue, [weil nun wieder heller Frühling ist, tanzend]1 tausend dunkelblaue Asternblüten, hei, in alle Welt!
