Summary

Doctrine

Pound on the drum and don't be afraid

And kiss the peddler woman!

That is all of philosophy

That's what the books truly say.

Wake up the people with your drum

Drum the reveille with the force of youth,

March onward and onward, beating your drum,

That is all of philosophy.

That is Hegelian philosophy,

That's what the books truly say.

I've understood it, because I'm bright,

And because I can play the drum well.
