Sunday Walk (Wagner)

Went for a walk out in the country
Came to a pond in a green wood
Lay down in the grass 'cause I felt drowsy
Then slid into a peculiar mood

Saw short-sighted lizards eating low-fat cheese
And freckled lap-wings showing their false teeth

I never thought such things could happen
So far my mind had been nowhere
Looked up to the sky for some advice
Watched lunacy growing up in the air

Saw flying tadpoles in pistachio pants
Parrots with crew-cuts ride on hunchbacked ants

Felt constipated in my head
That's why I decided to go back
When I reached our house my heart stood still
Uncle Peck came flown by with expert skill

And then he raised his head and dived into the sky
Yes, only very few can really fly so high

Wenn die Kraaniche zieh'n (Hattler) (instrumental)

Penguins on Broadway (Wagner)

Nuns demonstrate on Kudamm
Against the lack of action in their nunnery
All desperate they implore
A group of penguins because they need some support
This little difference 's just apparent to the lord

The nuns' boss Sister Mary
She's allergic to that kind of public work
Tells them it's a disgrace
And sends them back to their familiar place
Though the penguins found their action was real ace

These energetic little penguins
Jump into their Ford
Now they're gonna do their own show
And they decide to go abroad

So now the penguins walk on Broadway
Juggling with their plastic bowler hats
With jelly and fake snow
They promote their latest maniac-show
Their greatest gig - you just can't say "OH NO!"

Bassball (Wagner/Hattler)

I left my place just the other night
'Cause I felt knotted up fairly tight
As I passed the bassball field my pelvis shook
To find out why I had to take a close look

Out of the locker-room in the basement
Round sounds came bouncing up to me

I went right down and all I could see
Was a vibrating PA-system throwing bassballs at me
They slipped into my ears where they started to move
And I felt how they made my whole body groove

There's no need to jump and grab them
These bassballs hit you anyway

On my way home I felt the bassballs play their game
Down in my feet and up in my brain
Well, you've got some low notes in your speakers too
Find out yourself what they can do for you

There's no need to jump and grab them
These bassballs hit you anyway

How and why (Wagner/Hattler)

Yes, I've been on this train for ages
Know every face but I miss the light
I feel this carriage is one of my cages
Locked up for ten stops night by night

Why should I go straight on
The only way I know
Why did I think it was
The only way to go

And then coming back this morning
Did you know what had been the run
I could see that my times are dawning
Maybe she's been where the birds have sung

How can I float on a river
When all the water's gone
How can you hear my voice
When your radio's still turned on

My US Aunt (Wagner)

My US aunt Bought me a car
My luck's been
Guaranteed so far

I know this girl
Anaemic Heather
Our love depend
On the weather

One misty morning
She arrived ecstatic
And pushed me
Right up to the attic

When I regained
My mixed-up senses
Heather was gone
Just left her panties

She'll drive my new car
To foreign places
Just hope
She won't take part in races

Mutabor (Hattler) - instrumental -

Toujours too sure (Hattler)

I paid my insurance, I worked all day long
The foreman was pleased 'cause my body's strong
I gave up my life for my boss and my wife
I thought I can't go wrong

Never be too sure the world keeps turning
And everything can change quite drastically
There is only one thing you can really count on
You'll be lyin' on the belt eventually

Morning sun on my bed
Music's playin' in my head
Feel fine - stummin' and hummin'
But suddenly you said:

"Never be too sure the world keeps turning
And everything can change quite drastically
There is only one thing you can really count
Your time will be up eventually"

Now I learned my lesson, gonna change my whole life
Gave in my notice and divorced my wife
With enormous endurance I'm selling insurance
I think I can't go wrong again

Never be too sure the world keeps turning
And everything can change quite drastically
There is only one thing you can really count on
You'll be lyin' in your grave eventually
