Reinhard Mey
M(e)y English Song
I think that I make something wrong
I once must make an English song
‘Cause in my radio everyday
I hear them English music play
And all the radio peoples stand
On songs they cannot understand!
So I sing English now, that‘s really animally strong
And you can hear my English song all day long
Out your loudspeaker at home or riding in your car
All over this, our land, wherever you are
From the SFB to the WDR
A poor little sausage was I
When I in German song, oh my
I could not English, but quite cool
I learned it at the Folks-High-School
Now my producer says me: „Well
What do we now for records sell!“
So I sing English now, that‘s really animally strong
And you can hear my English song all day long
Out your loudspeaker at home or riding in your car
All over this, our land, wherever you are
From the SFB to the WDR
You reach the German music-freak
Now only if you can English speak
And if you will a song outbring
You better should it English sing!
And people flip out, say I you my friend
Even if they only railway station understand!
So I sing English now, that‘s really animally strong
And you can hear my English song all day long
Out your loudspeaker at home or riding in your car
All over this, our land, wherever you are
From the SFB to the WDR
And you can even me
On TV see
Sometimes at ZDF
Sometimes on ARD
Oh, babe, oh yeah!
