When the snow falls wunderbar
And the children happy are,
When there's Glatteis on the street,
And we all a Glühwein need,
Then you know, es ist soweit:
She is here, the Weihnachtszeit.

Mother in the kitchen bakes
Schoko-, Nuss- and Mandelkeks
Daddy in the Nebenraum
Schmückt a riesen Weihnachtsbaum
He is hanging on the balls,
Then he from the Leiter falls...

Finally the Kinderlein
In the Zimmer kommen rein
And es singt die Family
Schauerlich: "Oh Christmastree!"
And then jeder in the house
Is packing die Geschenke aus.

Mama finds under the Tanne
Eine brandnew Teflon-Pfanne,
Papa gets a Schlips and Socken,
Everybody does frohlocken.
President speaks on TV,
All around is Harmonie,

Bis mother in the kitchen runs:
Im Ofen burns the Weihnachtsgans.

And so comes the Feuerwehr
With Tatü, tata daher,
And they bring a long, long Schauch
And a long, long Leiter auch.
And they schrei loud - "Wasser marsch!",
Christmas Fest is now im - Eimer...

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Hear the music, see the lights,
Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht,
Merry Christmas allerseits...
