Oy oy kinderlach,
Oy oy kinderlach
Die zeit ist schwer,
Oy oy oy oy
Der schatten fällt.
Oy oy oy oy
Die nacht vertreibt den tag,
Immer schlimmer wird's auf der welt.
Flugzeuge bau'n sie,
Die auf wasser landen;
Bomben bau'n sie,
Die genies erfanden
Und sogar die eisenbahn
Fährt über unsern kopf hinweg
Den himmel hinauf!
Oh kinder, das ist eine schwere zeit,
Sie dauert doch wohl keine ewigkeit.
Der weltraum, die planeten
Sind so fern,
Doch die moneten
Sind so nah!
Wenn wir gen himmel fahren,
Wollen wir doch gern erfahren:
Was kostet dort das brot?
Wenn wir gen himmel fahren,
Wollen wir doch gern erfahren:
Ist es dort vorbei mit unsrer not?
Die zeit ist schwer
