    Pfui! Ruft da ein jeder:
    Garst'ger Struwwelpeter!

    from the classic poem. I find poetry harder to translate than prose!

    Garst'ger = Garstiger = nasty 

    The difficult part is probably to find a rhyme on Struwelpeter

    Wie spricht man denn bloß "Struwwelpeter" auf Englisch aus? :-o

    Mark Twain (siehe Link in #2) reimt es auf "cratur" and auf "Satyre" - hm.

    If it helps, there is a musical based on Struwwelpeter called Shockheaded Peter (definitely easier to pronounce in English, and probably also easier to find rhymes for). Unfortunately, "Nasty Shockheaded Peter" doesn't really scan...

    Evtl. würde eine Formulierung mit "villain" den Tonfall des Originals recht gut einfangen - etwa in der Art von "Struwwelpeter, oh, you villain!"

    "Pfui!", ruft da ein jeder, "garst'ger Struwwelpeter!"

    garstig - hier: sehr unartig

    ('a villain' sehe ich nicht)

    Villain finde ich etwas zu stark. Er ist unkempt und raggle-taggled, aber nicht ill-natured.

    My suggestion (after desperately trying to find a rhyme):

    "You bad boy", everyone shouts out -
    "Shockheaded Peter, dirty lout!"
