Wedding of the dolls

The clock quietly strikes the twelth hour
The world of dolls awakes
Today, a loving doll couple have their wedding night
The ebony musketeer admires himself with a quiet pride
And says out loud to his bride "Do you really love me?"
The clock quietly strikes the twelth hour
The priest is ready
And the bride kneels down in front of the wedding altar, in a white gown
Stern and stiff, the groom bids farewell to his freedom
The clock quietly strikes the twelth hour
Even the grandmother is here


Uncle Ludwig and Aunt Frieda arrive at the wedding
Cousin Fritz from Cottbus, Cottbus arrives
And at the wedding, Uncle Ludwig eats, Auntie Frieda eats
Cousin Fritz from Cottbus, Cottbus eats
And the doll father says "Live simply and remain true to yourself!"
And the doll mother almost breaks that wooden in two
Meanwhile, Uncle Ludwig eats, Auntie Frieda eats
Cousin Fritz from Cottbus,Cottbus, Cottbuss eats

The clock quietly strikes and the couple are told
"Get ready for a good time!"
This is naturally obvious to the couple, It makes them slightly withdraw
The aunt nods, the uncle nods, whereby he pinches her with love
She whispers "We should leave early today, because i'm really tired"
The clock quietly strikes, people dance and laugh
And get to know eachother better
Many girls think "Ah, I want to be that young bride"
Miss Ruth gets a sudden courage and she kisses the Assessor
But suddenely it strikes in one, and like a dream,
Everything is quiet again in the room
