Frohe Weihnachten
When the last Kalender-sheets
When the last Kalender-sheets
flattern trough the winterstreets
and Dezemberwind is blowing,
then ist everybody knowing
that it is not mehr allzuweit:
she does come – the Weihnachtszeit.
All the Menschen, Leute, people
flippen out of ihr warm Stüble,
run to Kaufhof, Aldi, Mess,
make Konsum and business.
Kaufen this und jene things
and the Churchturmglocke rings.
Manche holen sich a Tännchen,
when this brennt, they cry “Attention”.
Rufen for the Feuerwehr:
“Please come quick to löschen her!”
Goes the Tännchen of in Rauch,
they are standing on the Schlauch.
In the kitchen of the house
mother makes the Christmasschmaus.
She is working, schufts and bakes,
the 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 christmas time!
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 abwärts 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 familiy feels kerngesund
when unterm Weihnachtsbaum they’re hocking
then nothing can them ever shocking.
They are so happy, are so fine -
this happens in the Chistmastime!
The animals all in the house,
the Hund, the Katz, the bird, the mouse,
are turning round the Weihnachtsstress,
enjoy this day as never less,
well, they find Kittekat and Chappi
in the Geschenkkarton von Papi.
The family begins to sing
and wieder does a Glöckchen ring.
Zum song vom grünen Tannenbaum
the Tränen rinnen down and down.
Bis our mother plötzlich flennt:
“The christmas-Gans im Ofen brennt!”
Her nose indeed is very fine.
- Ende of the Weihnachtstime.
