Germans

Germans - go out ridin' with their ladies
Germans - in their elegant Mercedes'
Germans - have a country that is scenic
Germans - drive from Hamburg down to Munich
Germans - like Fritz and Franz and Edeltraut
Germans - they eat a lot of Sauerkraut
Germans - they like pretzels with their wurst
Germans - they drink beer until they burst
They say: "Guten Tag" and they say: "Auf Wiedersehen"
they race down the autobahn through acid rain
they take lots of Deutsch-Marks right out of their pockets
to buy Russian vodka and American rockets

Germans - gave you Goethe, Mann and Schiller
Germans - and Franz Kafka was a thriller
Germans - brought you Mozart, Bach and Schumann
Germans - they're a little superhuman
Germans - have respect for law and order
Germans - live on both sides of the border
Germans - in Berlin they have a wall
Germans - for playing tennis it't too tall
The blond German Fräuleins are pretty, but vain
You say: "Guten Tag" and they say: "Auf Wiedersehen"
They're very hard workers, from Monday to Friday
make love an the weekends, and yodel like Heidi
Jawoll, living in Germany is very nice
we're masters of war, we've tried it twice
And now we're on stand-by for World War three
Prost und Auf Wiedersehen, Germany
