Lick my ass fine, pretty clean

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lick my ass fine, pretty clean, KV 233 (382d) is a three-part canon that was long ascribed to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . The work, along with other canons of Mozart, was sent to his publisher by his widow Constanze after his death and therefore counted as Mozart's works. The canon was first published in 1800 by the Leipzig publisher Breitkopf & Härtel under Mozart's name. As the musicologist Wolfgang Plath was able to prove in 1988, the composition actually comes from Wenzel Trnka von Krzowitz (1739–1791) and was originally entitled Tu sei gelosa, è vero . The scatological text underlay probably comes from Mozart.

text

The presumably original text by Mozart, which was rediscovered in 1991, reads:

Lick mire den A… pretty good ,
fine and clean lick it,
fine and clean lick, lick mire den A…
That is a greasy desire,
only well lubricated with butter,
because licking the roast is my daily doing.
Three lick more than two,
just come here, do the test and lick, lick, lick
.
Everyone licks his A ... for himself.

Previously only the beginning of the text was known of this, in the reading Lick my ass fine, pretty clean . In the first printed editions of the Mozart works by Breitkopf & Härtel, the original text was replaced by a harmless one:

Nothing refreshes me more than wine
it creeps in so gently, it
creeps in so gently, it creeps in gently!
When everything is panting at once, he wets the dry throats alone;
Even when Murrkopf groans, always lets me be happy.
So swing the glasses with me! Toast!
Leave all worries behind! Toast!
We drown them in wine!
