There was an Old Man of Corfu,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he rushed up and down,
Till the sun made him brown,
That bewildered Old Man of Corfu.

There was a Young Lady of Clare,
Who was sadly pursued by a bear;
When she found she was tired,
She abruptly expired,
That unfortunate Lady of Clare.

Im Süden trinkt er an der Sonne Wein,
Sein Leben muss wohl voller Wonne sein.

Ein langer warmer Regen fein,
Kann auch dein Auto fegen rein.

Derweil sich seine Kinder raufen,
Geht der Bauer Rinder kaufen.
