Es sprach der Marabu, der weise Marabu:
Mein liebes Mädel, mach beim Küssen deine Augen zu!
Machst du die Augen zu,
Dann merkst du gleich im Nu:
Wie recht hat doch der Marabu, der weise Marabu.
Denn selbst im Dunkeln findest du die heißen Lippen doch.
Brauchst nichts zu seh'n, du fühlst den Mund
Und küsst ihn noch und nochund noch.
Drum sprach der Marabu, der weise Marabu:
Mein liebes Mädel, mach beim Kuss die Augen zu!

The Marabou, the wise Marabou spoke:
My dear girl, close your eyes when kissing!
When you close your eyes
You will realize instantly
How write the Marabou, the wise Marabou is
Because you can find the hot lips even in darkness
You don't have to see anything, you feel the mouth
And kiss it again and again.
That's way the Marabou, the wise Marabou spoke:
My dear girl, close your eyes when kissing!

A Great COPY

Paul O’Montis (born April 3, 1894 in Budapest as Paul Wendel, † July 17, 1940 in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp) was a German singer, parodist and cabaret artist.

Growing up in Hanover, O'Montis, then still Paul Wendel, came to Berlin in 1924, where he gained his first theater experience on various cabaret stages. When he appeared in Friedrich Hollaender's Revue Laterna Magica in 1926, he was first noticed by the press. His first record was published by Odeon in 1927 and he was accompanied by violinist Dajos Béla and his dance orchestra. In total, he made 70 recordings with Odeon, but not all of them were released. In 1929 he switched to Deutsche Grammophon, where Paul Godwin accompanied him with his orchestra. Mischa Spoliansky also accompanied him on the grand piano.

He cultivated the sophisticated, cartoonistic couplet and his specialty was joke and nonsense hits, whose texts are characterized by their playful words and ambiguities. His openly lived homosexuality also flowed into some pieces and interpretations.

The cabaret critic Max Herrmann-Neiße wrote: "Paul O'Montis has the technique to bring the most banal fashion chansons in such a way that even a more demanding person can enjoy them because, standing above them, he satirizes them moodily." [1] He performed on many famous Berlin cabaret stages such as the Café Meran, Boulevard Theater, Florida, Simpl, Scala and the winter garden, but he also made guest appearances in the Corso cabaret in Hanover and in Hamburg's funnel. He also appeared on the radio.

After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, he fled to Vienna at the end of the year, making appearances in Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland. In 1935 he was banned from performing in Germany. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, he fled to Prague. There he was arrested in 1939 and first deported to Zagreb and later to ?ód?. The reasons for the arrest and the long trip are unknown. On May 30, 1940 he was sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp as a Rosa Winkel prisoner and died there six weeks later at the age of 46. The report of the camp management, which speaks of "suicide", is contradicted by testimony to the contrary, according to which Paul O’Montis was murdered by the block elder.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.85 – 5.75$

2 records: 6.75$

5 records: 9.00$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.

Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).
