The Struwwelpeter Overture lyrics

When the children have been good That is let it be understood Good at mealtimes good at play Good all night and all of the day They shall have the pretty things Merry Christmas always brings But naughty romping girls and boys Who tear their clothes and make a noise Who spoil their pinafores and their frocks They deserve no Christmas box Such as these shall never look At this pretty picture book Yes such as these shall never look At this pretty picture book
