Ein Hund kam in die Küche
und stahl dem Koch ein Ei.
Da nahm der Koch den Löffel
und schlug den Hund zu Brei.

Da kamen die anderen Hunde
und gruben ihm ein Grab
Und setzen ihm ein'n Grabstein....
Auf dem geschrieben stand:

Ein Hund kam in die Küche
und stahl dem Koch ein Ei.

A dog ran through the kitchen

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

A dog ran through the kitchen,
Then stole an egg, then fled.
The cook took quick a serving spoon
And struck that mongrel dead.

For this the other curs did grieve,
And dug a grave for him,
And set atop a marker,
Which read in few words, grim:

"A dog ran through the kitchen,
Then stole an egg, then fled."
