Poem by Goethe.

I have come already through many a land
With the marmot
And always found something to eat
With the marmot
Here and there
With the marmot

I have seen so many men
With the marmot
That love the maidens all so well
With the marmot
Here and there
With the marmot

I've also seen the fair maiden
With the marmot
Who look at the little man that I am
With the marmot
Here and there
With the marmot

Now do not let me go like this, you gentlemen
With the marmot
The fellows love to eat and drink
With the marmot
Here and there
With the marmot
