   • 1982, “Schötzefess”‎^[1]performed by Bläck Fööss:

     Hondertfoffzig Mann un en Fahn vürrendraan,
     Un de Musik fängk mem Schneewalzer aan.
     En ener Kutsch met zwei Pääd setz der Künning dren un sät:
     „Piff, paff, der Vuggel moss erav!“
     Jrön, jrön, jrön steiht dä Schötzejonge schön!

     A hundred and fifty men and a flag up front,
     And the band plays the Schneewalzer.
     In a carriage with two horses sits the Schützenfest champion and says:
     „Boom, bang, the bird must fall!“
     Green, green, green looks nice on the riflemen!
