Won ich geld hob bin ich looshtich, Won ich kens hob bin ich groosh-tich. If I have money, I am cheerful. If I have none, I am cranky.

Ware net coomed tsu rechter zeit. Dare muss nemma was ivverich bleibt. Whoever does not come at the correct time, must take and be satisfied with whatever is left.
