it et ne Himmel he op Äde
saach mir gläuvs du echt do dran
un jeder kann ne Engel weede
doch gläuv mir nor, wenn hä am Rädche driehe kann
Mer ston zesamme, mer sin Fründe
häs du dä Spruch schon ens jehoot?
denn Zwietracht es en echte Sünde
doch dat hät he in unsrer Stadt nie jestört

Willkumme in Kölle, Willkumme zo Huus
dem Brave ne Arschtritt, dem Schlaue ne Kuss
Willkumme in Kölle, Willkumme zo Huus
pass jot op ding Siel op, söns bes du se loß
Ne Christeminsch dä hät Erbarmen
met bahl jeder Kreatur
am Schluß do säht d'r Pastor "Amen"

bei jedem Prinz, bei jedem Jeck, bei jeder Hor
Willkumme in Kölle, Willkumme zo Huus...
