O lieber Künstler sei ermahnt

O lieber Künstler sei ermahnt
Und übe Vorsicht jedenfalls!
Wer in gewissen Kähnen kahnt,
Dem steigt das Wasser bis zum Hals.
Und wenn ein dunkel trübes Licht
Verdächtig aus dem Nebel lugt,
Lustwandle auf der Lienau nicht,
Weil dort der lange Robert spukt!
Dein Säckel wird erobert
Vom langen Robert!
