Text:
�Ihr N�rgler all� aus jedem Stand,
kommt mit mir in�s Schlaraffenland.
Seht hier stell ich�s euch bildlich vor,
wer �Nein� sagt, ist ein grosser Thor!�
(You complainers of all kinds,
come with me to Schlaraffenland.
Look here, I am drawing you pictures of it,
those who say �No� are big fools!)

Schlaraffenland is the land of milk and honey, or Utopia, of German legend, where sausages grow on trees and tables set themselves.
