A little Christmas Gedicht

1 When the last Kalender-Sheets
flattern trough the winterstreets
And Dezemberwind is blowing,
then ist everybody knowing
that it is not allzuweit:
she does come - the Weihnachtszeit.

2 All the Menschen, Leute, people
Flippen out of ihr warms Stueb'l,
run to Kaufhof, Aldi, Mess',
Make Konsum and business.
Kaufen this und jene things
And the Churchturmglocke rings.

3 Manche holen sich a Taennchen
when this brennt, they cry "Attention".
Rufen for the Feuerwehr:
"Please come quick to loeschen her!"
Goes the Taennchen off in Rauch,
they are standing on the Schlauch.

4 In the kitchen of the house
Mother makes the Christmasschmaus.
She is working, schufts and bakes
the hit ist now her Joghurtkeks.
And the Opa says als Tester:
"We are killed bis to Sylvester".

5 Then he fills the last Glas wine -
Yes, this is the Chrstmastime!
Day by day does so vergang,
and the Holy night does come.
You can think, you can remember,
this ist immer in Dezember.

6 Then the childrenlein are coming
Candl-Wachs is abwaerts running.
Bing of Crosby Christmas sings
while the Towerglocke rings
and the angels look so fine -
well this is the Weihnachtstime.

7 Baby-eyes are big and rund,
the family feels kerngesund
when unterm Christbaum they're hocking
when nothing can them ever shocking.
They are so happy, are so fine -
this happens in the Christmastime!

8 The animals all in the house,
the Hund, the Katz, the bird, the mouse,
have not any Weihnachtsstress,
they find Kittekat and Chappi
in the Geschenkkarton von Pappi


9 The family begins to sing
and wieder does a Gloeckchen ring.
Zum song vom gruenen Tannenbaum
the Traenen rennen down and down.
Bis ouer mother ploetzlich flennt:
"The Christmas-Gans im Ofen brennt!"

10 Her nose indeed is very fine.
This is the end of Weihnachtstime.
