In den blanken Kopf Cassanders, Dessen Schrein die Luft durchzetert, Bohrt Pierrot mit Heuchlermienen, Zärtlich - einen Schädelbohrer! Darauf stopft er mit dem Daumen Seinen echten türkischen Taback In den blanken Kopf Cassanders, Dessen Schrein die Luft durchzetert! Dann dreht er ein Rohr von Weichsel Hinten in die glatte Glatze Und behäbig schmaucht und pafft er Seinen echten türkischen Taback Aus dem blanken Kopf Cassanders!

Dans le chef brillant de Cassandre Dont les cris transpercent l'air, Pierrot perce avec un air hypocrite, Délicatement -- un trépan ! Ensuite il bourre avec son pouce Son tabac turc authentique Dans le chef brillant de Cassandre Dont les cris transpercent l'air. Puis il visse un tuyau de merisier À l'arrière de la tête chauve et lisse Et à l'aise fume à grosse bouffées Son tabac turc authentique Dans le chef brillant de Cassandre.
