The alarm clock beeps, half past six, disaster take your course
The eldest has to go to the first lesson: "Come on, get up
And be quiet, so the middle one doesn't wake up
He can still sleep"
Boom, the first door slams
The hallway creaks, the toilet flushes and on top of that
The little one has woken up and is screaming like a banshee
I put her on the potty, she's red with rage
I quickly make a sandwich for the eldest, "take care!
Don't forget your gym bag!"
The middle one comes, "Man, don't walk around barefoot, put on your slippers!"
I just watch as my toast goes up in flames
Then the little one has tipped over her potty and its contents
And throws herself at me with a cry of joy
All good things come in threes

I've taken the middle one to school
And wipe away the traces of the hazelnut cream battle
This is the time when I can go to my desk
The little one is coloring my leg with a felt-tip pen
And during a short phone call, she destroys
The entire mail of the previous month by tearing it up
The eldest comes home and makes a long face
All his buddies have computers, but he doesn't
The little one pees on the carpet, she'll be the death of me
Before that, I pick up the middle one from school
Then there's lunch and a fight over who gets the first fish stick
Until tears flow and it ends up on the floor
The little one sneezes on me and has her mouth full
All good things come in threes

I coax them into a nap, now I'd have some time
The eldest confesses his history assignment to me
And now he has invited three troublemakers to play
"Not so loud!" but when the first chair falls over
The little one is awake, the middle one sobs: "I think
I'm supposed to go to a birthday party and I don't have a gift yet!"
The little one first sticks a pea in her ear
The doctor is a friend and quickly sees us
I quickly buy a gift and drop off the middle one
I come out sweating, I think I'm going to collapse
The car key is gone, how do I get home now
Only reluctantly does the little one spit it out
A neighbor greets: "Well, you always have free time, don't you?"
All good things come in threes

At home, the evening madness is already setting in
The little one immediately rolls herself up with high, piercing screams
Into a curtain into a thick ball
And lets herself fall to the floor with the curtain
The eldest is blasting deafening music
"Hey, dude, stay cool, I'm practicing math"
The middle one comes from the birthday party with the record
In marshmallow eating contest, and he immediately throws up
The eldest and the little one get a sandwich
The marshmallow eater gets a bowl in front of the bed
Two bedtime stories for each of the three
I myself fall asleep directly during the evening news
I drag myself to bed, my feet heavy as lead
All good things come in threes

My wife smiles at me: "Well, think about it
Maybe all good things come in"
I collapse, no, it stays that way
All good things come in threes
