«Υποφέρω από το άγγιγμα των χειλιών σου ...

... μα πιο πολύ υποφέρω από το ξύλο που μου δίνεις»



Τα δένδρα είναι πράσινα
Ο ουρανός γαλανός
πάμε να δηλητηριάσουμε
τα περιστέρια του πάρκου



Despite producing several hundred original songs Kreisler may occasionally have used ideas and material from other artists in his work. His song "Die Hand" shows strong similarities to Tom Lehrer's "I Hold Your Hand in Mine", first recorded by Lehrer in 1953 on the album Songs by Tom Lehrer. Lehrer's recording predates by several years any documented recording or performance of that song by Kreisler as well as Kreisler's return to performance in German-speaking countries in 1955. Kreisler's "Taubenvergiften im Park" (first released as "Frühlingslied") has strong similarities to Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". Kreisler and Lehrer each deny copying from the other; so far no one has succeeded in establishing which song was written first. Kreisler's "Das Mädchen mit den drei blauen Augen" appears to be related to the Abe Burrows song "The Girl with the Three Blue Eyes" (first recording 1950). Kreisler's song "Bidla Buh" (first recorded in the 1950s) appears to be related to the Rodgers and Hart number "To Keep My Love Alive" composed in 1943.
