    • 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!
