Nur eins von tausend Englein Stehe mir ausnahmsweise jetzt bei. Denn die Spaghetti-Schlänglein Entklitschen immer dicht vorm Mund. Und das sieht aus wie Schweinerei Und sticht die ganze Zunge wund. Und ich bin doch hier feiner Kaufleute Gast und schaufle schon Zwei Stunden rum an der Portion Und sie wird garnicht kleiner.

Just one of these little angels' horde Is by me this moment ready. Ah, spaghetti strands waving toward One's mouth smack thickly steady. And it seems rather a piggery As one scorches raw one's tongue, But here I be, in my priggery Shoveling, as are the guests I'm among. Across the hours a spaghetti serving Is nothing less than I'm deserving.
