Presulem sanctissimum veneremur. Gaudeamus!
Wöllen wir nach Gras gahn, hollereio,
so singen uns die Vögelein,
hollerei, in hoc solemni festo.
Zir, zir Passer, der Gutzgauch frei
sein Melodei hellt über Berg und Tiefe Tal.
Der Müller in der Obermühl, der hat ein feiste Gans,
die hat ein feisten, dikken, langen, widelichen Kragen,
die wöllen mir mit uns tragen.
Drußla, drußla, gick-gack, gick-gack,
dulci resonemus in gloria.
