Subject: Folklore: Eins Zwei Drei folksong From: tenn_jim Date: 12 Nov 14 - 02:32 PM I recall this from my youth. Eins, zwei, Polizei One, Two, Police This traditional children's song and nursery rhyme has been recorded by at least two German groups: Mo-Do (1994) and S.W.A.T. (2004). (Note: We have not reviewed the CD song lyrics, which may or may not be suitable for young children.) Also see German Nursery Rhymes. Melodie: Mo-Do Text: Traditional DEUTSCH Eins, zwei, Polizei drei, vier, Offizier fünf, sechs, alte Hex' sieben, acht, gute Nacht! neun, zehn, auf Wiedersehen! (Alt. verse: neun, zehn, schlafen geh'n.) ENGLISH One, two, police Three, four, officer five, six, old witch seven, eight, good night! nine, ten, good-bye! (Alt. verse: nine, ten, off to bed.) Any other variations? |

I think your post comes from this Website: http://german.about.com/library/blmus_kinderPolizei.htm I wondered what the reference to Mo-Do was. Apparently, "Modo" is the Euro-pop group that made this recording in 1994 as a recitation with a musical background: http://german.about.com/library/blmus_kinderPolizei.htm The video gives these as the lyrics for the Modo recording: Eins Zwei Polizei Drei Vier Grenadier Funf Sechs Alte Hex Sieben Acht Gute Nacht Ja Ja Ja Was ist los? Was ist das? (repeat) I didn't find the song in my modest collection of German songbooks. Are then any native German speakers here who grew up with this rhyme, or it is a Modo composition? -Joe- |
