Weihnachten
When the last Kalender-sheets
flattern through the Winter-streets
and Dezemberwind is blowing,
then ist everybody knowing
that it is not allzuweit:
she does come - The Winterzeit.
All the Menschen, Leute, People
flippen out of ihr warm stuebl,
run of Kaufhof, Aldi. Mess,
make Konsum and business.
Kaufen this und jene Dings,
and the Churchturmglocke rings.
Manche holen sich a Taennchen,
when this brennt, they cry "Attention".
Rufen for the Feuerwehr:
"Please come quick to loeschen here!"
Goes the Taennchen of in Rauch,
they are standing on the Schlauch.
In the Kitchen of the house,
mother make the Christmasschmaus.
She is working, schufting, bakes,
hit is now her Yoghurtkeks.
And the Opa says als Tester:
"We are killed bis to Silvester."
Then he fills the last Glas Wine -
yes, this is the christmastime.
Day by Day does so vergang,
and the Holy night does come.
You can think, you can remember
this is immer in Dezember.
Then the childrenlein are coming,
candle-Wachs is abwaerts running.
Bing of Crosby Christmas sings,
while the Towerglocke rings
and the angels look so fine -
well this is the Weihnachtstime.
Baby-eyes are big and rund,
the family feels kerngesund
when unterm Weihnachtsbaum are hocking
then nothing can them ever shocking.
They are so happy, are so fine -
this happens in the Christmastime!
The animals all in the house,
the Hund, the Katz, the bird, the mouse,
are turning round the Weihnachtstree,
enjoy this day as never nie,
well they find Kitekat and Chappi
in the Geschenkkarton von Papi.
The family begins to sing
and wieder does a Gloeckchen ring.
Zum Song vom gruenen Tannenbaum
die Traenen rennen down and down.
Bis our mother ploetzlich flennt:
"The christmas-gans im Ofen brennt"!
Her nose indeed is very fine.
ENDE of the Weihnachtstime.
