Verlorne müh'!

Sie:
 Büble, wir wollen außre gehe!
 Wollen wir? Unsere Lämmer besehe?
 Komm', lieb's Büberle,
 komm', ich bitt'!

Er:
 Närrisches Dinterle,
 ich geh dir holt nit!

Sie:
 Willst vielleicht ä bissel nasche?
 Hol' dir was aus meiner Tasch'!
 Hol', lieb's Büberle,
 hol', ich bitt'!

Er:
 Närrisches Dinterle,
 ich nasch' dir holt nit!

Sie:
 Gelt, ich soll mein Herz dir schenke!?
 Immer willst an mich gedenke!?
 Nimm's! Lieb's Büberle!
 Nimm's, ich bitt'!

Er:
 Närrisches Dinterle,
 ich mag es holt nit!
