Man wünschte sich herzlich gute Nacht; Die Tante war schrecklich müde; Bald sind die Lichter ausgemacht, Und alles ist Ruh und Friede. Im ganzen Haus sind nur noch zween, Die keine Ruhe finden, Das ist der gute Vetter Eugen Mit seiner Base Lucinden. Sie wachten zusammen bis in der Früh, Sie herzten sich und küßten. Des Morgens beim Frühstück taten sie, Als ob sie von nichts was wüßten.

Good night, we'd bid to one and all; As Auntie was dreadfully weary; With peace-filled rest did nighttime fall Over sleepy eyes, each so bleary. But in the house there were those two Who did not heed the Sandman. To meet Lucinda and pitch the woo, Cousin Eugene bided with his plan. Throughout the night until the dawn, They did as such couples might. Over breakfast, each stifling a yawn, They behaved other than they did last night.
