Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber (English: Lick me in the ass fine well and clean) is a canon for three voices in B-flat major, K.233/382d, long thought to have been composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during 1782 in Vienna — see below.

[edit] Authenticity
In 1988, Wolfgang Plath, an editor of the Bärenreiter Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (NMA), presented evidence that the composer of this piece, as well as K.234/382c, was in fact Wenzel Trnka von Krzowitz (1739-1791).[1][2][3][4] That Mozart might not be the author of K. 229, K. 230, K. 231, K. 233, K. 234 was already mentioned in the NMA in 1974.[5] However, the unexpurgated lyrics are most likely by Mozart himself.
[edit] Lyrics
The rediscovered, probably original text reads:[6]
Leck mire den A.. recht schon, |
Lick my ass nicely, |
[edit] Alternative Lyrics
Shown in Bärenreiter's Neue Mozart Edition is the text as changed either by Johann Christoph Härtel (1763-1827) or by Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf (1750-1800) for the 1804 edition of the canons in Œvres Complettes.[7]
Nichts labt mich mehr als Wein; |
Nothing refreshes me more than wine; |
In Brilliant Classic's Mozart Complete edition[8][9] a different adaptation is used:
Leck mir den Arsch fein rein |
Lick me in the ass fine and clean |
