Zehn kleine Jägermeister

Zehn kleine Jägermeister rauchten einen Joint,
den einen hat es umgehaun, da waren's nur noch neun.

Neun kleine Jägermeister wollten gerne erben,
damit es was zu erben gab, musste einer sterben.

Acht kleine Jägermeister fuhren gerne schnell,
sieben fuhrn nach Düsseldorf, einer fuhr nach Köln.

Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.

Sieben kleine Jägermeister warn beim Rendezvous,
bei einem kam ganz unverhofft der Ehemann hinzu.

Sechs kleine Jägermeister wollten Steuern sparen,
einer wurde eingelocht, fünf durften nachbezahlen.

Fünf kleine Jägermeister wurden kontrolliert,
ein Polizist nahm's zu genau, da warn sie noch zu viert.

Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.

Einmal muss jeder gehen
und wenn dein Herz zerbricht,
davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!

Vier kleine Jägermeister bei der Bundeswehr,
sie tranken um die Wette, den Besten gibt's nicht mehr.

Drei kleine Jägermeister gingen ins Lokal,
dort gab's zwei Steaks mit Bohnen und eins mit Rinderwahn.

Zwei kleine Jägermeister baten um Asyl,
einer wurde angenommen, der andere war zu viel.

Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.

Einmal muss jeder gehen
und wenn dein Herz zerbricht,
davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!
Ja, davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!

My quick and dirty attempt of a translation:


One little Jägermeister didn’t like being alone
Thus he invited nine more Jägermeister for Christmas.

Ten little Jägermeister smoked a Joint
One got knocked out, then there were only nine
Nine little Jägermeister wanted to inherit,
To have an inheritance, one had to die.
Eight little Jägermeister liked speeding,
Seven drove to Düsseldorf and one went to Cologne.

One for all and All for one
When one is gone, why start sobbing?
Everyone has his turn, don’t bother yourself.
Such is life, you or me.

Seven little Jägermeister were at a Rendezvous
One had an unhoped-for visit by the husband.
Six little Jägermeister wanted to evade taxes,
One got nicked, five got an extension.
Five little Jägermeister were carded,
One policeman was trigger-happy, then there were only four.


One for all and All for one
When one is gone, why start sobbing?
Everyone has his turn, don’t bother yourself.
Such is life, you or me.

Eventually everybody has to go
And if your heart breaks,
It won’t make the world end
Man, play ludo and don’t fret.

Four little Jägermeister in the Army,
Played a drinking game, the best is no more.
Three little Jägermeister went into the diner,
Served where two steaks with beans and one with Mad Cow.
Two little Jägermeister applied for asylum,
One was accepted, the other was too much

One for all and All for one
When one is gone, who’d start sobbing?
Everyone has his turn, don’t bother yourself.
Such is life, you or me.

Eventually everybody has to go
And if your heart breaks,
It won’t make the world end
Man, play ludo and don’t fret.

One for all and All for one
When one is gone, who’d start sobbing?
Everyone has his turn, don’t bother yourself.
Such is life, you or me.

Eventually everybody has to go
And if your heart breaks,
It won’t make the world end
Man, play ludo and don’t fret.

Yeah, it won’t make the world end
Man, play ludo and don’t fret.

One little Jägermeister didn’t like being alone
Thus he invited nine more Jägermeister for Easter.

3. you know that stuff tastes terrible
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 05:06 PM by tigereye
kind of like creme de menthe on acid. No offense.

PS I knew I would see you here... I wonder why... two of your passions in one thread! Now all you need to do is learn some German. ;)

Americans drinking it is the subject of endless jokes. Sorta the revenge for Hasselhoff.

6. that's really good
My brother had an airline bottle of it at home, so I just tried it for the heck of it. Blecch. I used to drink all kinds of weird shit in college, though, so I shouldn't be too sanctimonious. ;)

11. I only tried a little bit -
too sweet and too intense for me. I think I'll stick to wine and dark ales and lagers, thanks. I've already done my drinking of intense sweet liquers sp?, long ago. And no I had no idea it had deer blood in it. That sounds like a tall tale to me... :)

contain "deerblood".
I guess some people need an excuse about being brave to drink it.

13. you know that's weird
I don't understand what the attraction is, I guess it's the faux rock star thing... I just like to tease PPS about this, since he has drunk far more of it than I have. ;)

24. faux rock star?
SLAYER

SLAYER was on the Jagermeister tour this year, there aren't many bands that are more rock star than Slayer!

Damn them though, for cancelling the Pittsburgh show, I really wanted to see Killswitch Engage and Mastodon.

27. I saw an article about Mastodon in the NYT a few weeks ago
I thought it sounded like your kind of thing... you ought to check it out if you haven't. Metal guys doing a Moby Dick epic - Literate Metal Guys! Aren't Killswitch engage those guys with leather masks? OR am I thinking of someone else?

I am clueless about these matters, although I did buy a Motorhead CD ( I do remember the Ace of Spades period) recently on the advice of some of my cronies here. I did see Black Sabbath once when I was in college, though.

And you're thinking of a different band, Killswitch don't wear masks.

34. I figured as much
It is just that we men usually need an excuse to drink a drink designed for the 65+ female demographic.

15. Stomach churning programme on the B.B.C. yesterday
It was actually fascinating for most of the time.

An anthropologist went to live with an Ethiopian tribe for a month, actually to live as they do. They drink cattle-blood (it being more economical than killing the entire beast), and it showed him trying some in very graphic style.

Fortunately this was well after I had eaten supper.

26. no kidding!
well, there wasn't much to eat at all, that's how my grandfather wound up here. What kind of blood? The blood of an Orangeman, no doubt ;) (I'm just kidding!)

How's school so far?

32. uh oh
after only one term? Too much work? But don't you want to learn more about medieval literature? Or is your brain just full? ;)

I know, you just can't wait to sit by the pool. Or have you had enough of that, too?

"Meister" means "Master" and "Jäger" "Hunter".

BLECHHH!

How can a country with such great taste in beer have such atrocious taste for the hard stuff?

21. Which is why this CD is in my CD rack
and the bottled kind absent from my "bottle collection".

The beer argument might be a reason for the success in America though :evilgrin: .

Always remember : nothing wrong with producing atrociously tasting stuff as long as you let others do the consuming.

28. my husband just told me that the Grey Goose guy
promoted Jagermeister with buxom wenches in saucy outfits and that's why it is so popular. How he knows this, I do not know.

20-year-olds. We have a lot of "other hard stuff" :)
