Es war einmal ein Mann
Es war einmal ein Mann,
der hatte einen Schwamm,
der Schwamm war ihm zu nass
da ging er auf die Gass´,
die Gass' war ihm zu kalt,
da ging er in den Wald,
der Wald war ihm zu grün,
da ging er nach Berlin,
Berlin war ihm zu klein,
da ging er wieder heim,
daheim war's ihm zu nett,
da stieg er in das Bett,
im Bett war eine Maus,
da sprang er wieder raus-
und du bist drauß´!
Once upon a time there was a man
Once upon a time there was a man,
who had a sponge,
the sponge was too wet for him
so he went to the street,
the street was too cold for him,
so he went into the forest,
the forest was too green for him,
so he went to Berlin,
Berlin was too small for him,
so he went back home,
home was too nice for him,
so he got into bed,
there was a mouse in the bed,
so he jumped out again-
and you're out!
