So tret ich hie auf einen Stein: Gott grüss mirs zart Jungfräuelein! Und grüss euch Gott allsamt geleich, sie seien arm oder reich, Gott grüss euch all in einer G’mein, darzu auch die klein! So ich ein grüss, die ander nit, so wär ich kein rechter Singer nit!

Because if I greet one and not the other, I would not be a true singer!  Less_link" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">Less

Lift your feet up so you won't miss it, Wake up, take advantage, The Tap-Tap is warming up! If your legs are short, get a head start; The best time is now, Don't say you didn't know, Those who are wise are those who lead. Don't let time pass you by, It's time for you to get on board, The Tap-Tap is leaving now, It's time for us to go! Hurry up, walk quickly! Lift your feet up and don't miss it, The Tap-Tap is taking off! Don't fool around, get on! Don't wait, don't stare, Don't joke around, get on! The Tap-Tap might just leave you! Get up! Stand proud!
