Really? I must have the bowdlerized version.  The text is silly, but I
can't detect anything obscene in it.

This is how my song-book prints it:

   'Bona nox!  bist a rechter Ochs, bona notte, liebe Lotte; bonne nuit,
   pfui, pfui, good night, good night, heut' muess' ma no weit, gute
   Nacht, gute Nacht, 's wird hoechste Zeit, gut' Nacht, schlaf' fei
   g'sund und bleib' recht kugelrund!'
