What Clothes Do Geese Wear?

Was haben die Gänse für Kleider an ?
Gi, ga, gack!
Wir gehen barfuß alle zeit
In einem weißen Federkleid.
Gi, ga, gack!
Wir haben nur einen Frack.
Was trinken die Gänse für einen Wein?
Gi, ga, gack!
Wir trinken nur den stärksten Wein
Das ist der Gänsewein allein
Gi, ga, gack!
Ist stärker als Rum und Arrak.
What clothes do geese wear?
Gi, ga, gack!
We go barefoot all the time,
In white plumage.
Gi, ga, gack!
We have only one suit.
What wine do geese drink?
Gi, ga, gack!
We drink only the strongest wine,
Which is the only wine for geese.
Gi, ga, gack!
It's stronger than rum and arrack*.
