Original text and translations

German text Kleine Gäste, kleines Haus. Liebe Mäusin oder Maus, Stell dich nur kecklich ein Heut Nacht bei Mondenschein! Mach aber die Tür fein hinter dir zu, Hörst du? Dabei hüte dein Schwänzchen! Nach Tische singen wir, Nach Tische springen wir Und machen ein Tänzchen: Witt witt! Meine alte Katze tanzt wahrscheinlich mit.

English translation Tiny guests and tiny house, Is it Miss or Mister Mouse? Boldly creep out tonight In the moon’s silv’ry light. Mind to close the door, but gently, my dear, D’you hear? Your tail might be caught perchance! First lunch, then we’ll sing, First lunch, then we’ll spring And then we will all dance: Vitt, vitt! And likely my old cat will dance a little bit.
