Die Geschichte vom Zappel-Adolf

Zappel-Adolf 1

Let me see if Adolf can
Be a little gentleman;
Let me see if he is able
To sit still for once at table:
Uncle Sam said: “Boy! Behave!”
Aunt Britannia looked grave.
It’s really too bad,
The fidgety lad;
He wriggles
And jiggles,
And then I declare,
Swings backwards and forwards
And tilts up his chair
Just like any rocking horse;
“Adolf! We are getting cross!”

Zappel-Adolf 2

See the naughty restless child
Growing still more rude and wild,
Till his chair falls over quite.
Adolf screams with all his might
Catches at the cloth, but then
That makes matters worse again.
Down upon the ground they fall
Glasses, plates, knives, forks and all
Auntie B. did fret and frown
When she saw them tumbling down!
Uncle Sam made such a face!
Adolf is in sad disgrace.

Zappel-Adolf 3

Where is Adolf, where is he?
Fairly covered up you see!
Cloth and all are lying on him;
He has pulled all down upon him.
All the onions, cheese and fruits
Muddled up with Adolf’s boots!
Table all so bare, and see!
Uncle Sam and Auntie B.
Look quite cross, and wonder how
Auntie’ll make her dinner now.
As for Adolf, there’s no doubt
He must go to bed without.
