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!'
