by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Schnauz und Miez
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ri-ra-rumpelstiez,
wo ist der Schnauz, Wo ist die Miez?
Der Schnauz, der liegt am Ofen
und leckt sich seine Pfoten.
Die Miez, die sitzt am Fenster
und wäscht sich ihren Spenzer.
Rumpeldipumpel, schnaufeschnauf,
da kommt die Frau die Treppe rauf.
Was bringt die Frau dem Kätzchen?
Einen Knäul, einen Knäul, mein Schätzchen,
einen Knäul aus grauem Wollenflaus,
der aussieht wie eine kleine Maus.
Was bringt die Frau dem Hündchen?
Ein Halsband, mein Kindchen,
ein Halsband von besondrer Art,
auf welchem steht: Schnauz Schnauzebart.
Ri-ra-rumpeldidaus,
und damit ist die Geschichte aus.
