Icke!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ick sitze hier und esse Klops,
Uff eenmal kloppt's.
Ick kieke, staune, wundre mir,
Uff eenmal jeht se uff, die Tier.
Nanu, denk ick, ick denk, nanu,
Jetzt isse uff, erscht war se zu.
Ick jehe raus und blicke,
Und wer steht draußen? -- Icke!

I!
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I sit here, eating meatballs,
And it swings wide open.
I look, astonished and bewildered,
And rise to go to the door.
Okay, I says, says I, okay,
I'll finish eating, and then see.
I go out and look around,
And who's outside? - It's me!
