Susanne (skw) Lyr Req: German lully in 2nd Upstairs/Downstairs (13) RE: Lyr Req: German lully in 2nd Upstairs/Downstai 27 Apr 11


One of the earliest songs I learned as a child was the rhyme

Maikäfer flieg
Dein Vater ist im Krieg
Deine Mutter ist in Pommernland
Pommernland ist abgebrannt
Maikäfer flieg

I've always associated it with Germany's "freedom wars" against Napoleon in the early 19th century, and it does vaguely remind me of the longer song quoted above.
