Vaterglückchen, Mutterschößchen, Kinderstübchen, trautes Heim, Knusperhexlein, Tante Rhös'chen, Kuchen schmeckt wie Fliegenleim. Wenn ich in die Stube speie, Lacht mein Bruder wie ein Schwein. Wenn er lacht, haut meine Schwester. Wenn sie haut, weint Mütterlein. Wenn die weint, muß Vater fluchen. Wenn er flucht, trinkt Tante Wein. Trinkt sie Wein, schenk sie mir Kuchen: Wenn ich Kuchen kriege, muß ich spein.
