Kommt ein Mann die Trepp heran - German Children's Songs - Germany - Mama Lisa's World: Children's Songs and Rhymes from Around the World  - Intro Image

Notes

Finger Play Version:

Kommt ein Mann die Treppe rauf,
klopfet an,
klingelingeling,
ist Jemand zuhaus?

Translation and Game Instructions:

A man comes up the stairs,
(Crawl two fingers up the child's arm to the neck)
Knock, knock!
(Knock gently on the child's forehead)
Ding-dong!
(Gently pull and wiggle the child's ear lobe)
Is anybody home?
(Gently wiggle and pull the child's nose)
