Der kuckuck und der esel
Die hatten einen streit
Wer wohl am besten sänge
Wer wohl am besten sänge
Zur schönen maienzeit
Zur schönen maienzeit
Der kuckuck sprach ‘ich kann es’
Und fing gleich an zu schrei’n
‘ich aber kann es besser,
Ich aber kann es besser’
Fiel gleich der esel ein
Fiel gleich der esel ein
Das klang so schön und lieblich
So schön von fern und nah
Sie sangen alle beide
Sie sangen alle beide
Kuckuck, kuckuck, iaaahh
Kuckuck, kuckuck, iah
