Miser, miser modo niger,
et ustus fortiter.

Carmina betcha can do better than that! (But not very Orffen)

Arright you want the whole thang?

Even what Carl left out?

Olim lacus colueram
Olim pulcher extiteram
Dum cygnus ego fueram

Cho.
Miser, miser modo niger
et ustus fortitier

Eram nive candidior
Quavis ave formosior
Modo sum corvo nigrior

Cho
Miser, etc

Gyrat regyrat garcifer
Me rogus urit fortiter
Propinat me nunc dapifer

Cho.
Miser, etc.

Mallem in aquis vivere
Nudo semper sub aere
Quam in hoc mergi pipere

Cho.
Miser etc.

Nunc in scutella jaceo
Et volitare nequeo
Dentes frendentes video

Cho.
Miser, etc.


Carl left out 2 and 4, the best verses

I particularly like that Quam in hoc mergi pipere verse. Sounds like an old Yiddish shprichtvort.
