What are the prepositions that require the dative case?

If you don't remember the prepositions that require the use of the dative, you may just learn this simple song that, although really silly, will help you remember the correct prepositions:

Aus, bei, mit, nach

aus, bei, mit, nach

seit, von ,zu

seit, von, zu

immer mit den Dativ 

Immer mit den Dativ,

Gegenüber auch!
