Wille wille will, der Mann ist kommen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wille wille will, der Mann ist kommen, wille wille will, was bracht er dann? Wille wille will, viel Zuckerwaffeln, wille wille will, dies Kindelein soll han! Wille wille will, der Mann ist kommen, wille wille will, was bringt er mehr? Wille wille will, gar hübsche Sachen, wille wille will, die Taschen sind ihm schwer! Wille wille will, was solls noch geben? wille wille will, ein Rütelein! Wille wille will, er hörte schreien, wille wille will, ein schlimmes Bübelein! Wille wille will, mein Kind ist artig, wille wille will, mein Kind ist still! Wille wille will, das Rütlein geben, wille wille will, dem der es eben will!
