by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Wenn ich mein Hühnchen locke
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich mein Hühnchen locke,
Mit tuck tuck tick, ticke ticke tick,
Wenn ich mein Hühnchen locke,
So kommt's den Augenblick,
tick tick,
So kommt's den Augenblick.

Dann lockt der Hahn von ferne,
Schreit tack tack ta, tacke tacke ta,
Dann lockt der Hahn von ferne,
Und Alle sind sie da,
tack ta,
Und Alle sind sie da.

Und wenn sie Alle schreien
Ihr tuck tuck tick, ticke ticke tick,
So kriegt doch nur mein Hühnchen
Das allergrößte Stück,
tick tick,
Das allergrößte Stück.
