This is my German version of the song

Einem Hundertfüßler ging's ganz wohl
Bis ein Frosch ihn schlau befragte
"Weisst du welcher Fuss nach vorne geht?"
Singen wir: "rechts links links rechts"!

Dann besann er sich und dachte nach
Seine Beine wirbelten hundertfach
Und er konnte nicht mehr geh'n


Er versucht 'nen Tritt und blieb da steh'n
Alle fünfzig linke Beine
Kamen aufwärts und er stolperte
Und die rechten folgten nicht

Dann besann er sich und dachte nach
Seine Beine wirbelten hundertfach
Und er konnte nicht mehr geh'n
