Down with princes, down with peoples!
Down with churches, down with steeples!
Down with love and down with marriage!
Down with all who keep a carriage!
Down with lord and down with lady -
Up with everything that's shady!

Down with life and down with laughter!
Down with landlords, down with land!
Whom the soil belongs to after,
We could never understand!
Pleasure - we can do without it;
Down with Court and down with king;
And - just while we are about it -
Down with every blessed thing!
