Transcription
Sohn und Vater, delikater Freundschaft sich beide erfreun. Auch mit Mutter stets in Butter, Nie gibt es was zu bereun. Kurzweil es sind ganz wunderbar Rothschilds als Elternpaar! Das gibts nur einmal, das kommt nicht wieder Als Angler ist der Max famos. Man kann bestellen bei ihm Forellen Soviel man will, und riesengroß, Die Weinbergschnecken Nur eins bezwecken: Beim Angeln ziehn sie Fische an! Dadurch im baren Wird Märkchen sparen An Wirtschaftsgeld soviel sie kann. Drum hoch zu schätzen An Angelplätzen Ist Vater Max als bester Ehemann.
English translation
VI. Son and father enjoy the finest friendship; things also go smoothly with Mother, with nothing to regret. The Rothschilds are wonderfully entertaining as a pair of parents. “It happens only once; it will not come again”: Max is famous as an angler. One may order as many enormous trout from him as one likes. The vineyard snails have only one purpose—to attract fish while angling. In this way Mother can save many marks from the household budget. Therefore Father Max is highly prized at fishing places as the best of husbands.
