    • 1973, “En d’r Kayjass Nummer Null”‎[1]performed by Bläck Fööss:
      Es en Schiev kapott,
      Es ene Möllemmer fott,
      Hät der Honk am Stätz en Dos:
      Kütt ene Schutzmann aanjerannt,
      Hät uns sechs dann usjeschand,
      Sät: Wat maht ihr sechs dann bloß!
      Is a pane broken,
      Is a dustbin gone,
      Is there a dog with a tin on its tail:
      Then a constable comes running,
      Scolds the six of us,
      Says: What in the world are you six doing!
