Be loud, be in the way, be from somewhere else
Good day, good day, are there tourists here today?
Is your bus parked outside or did you come by bike?
Tourists love to cruise the city on bikes
Though they don't know how to ride
And especially not in Berlin
Especially not in Berlin
Country roads, village streets, that's easy
Wave hello to the chicken farmer, "Give me three fresh eggs"
And later you cycle over to the reservoir
Down some dirt road through the forestand no oncoming traffic
But that's what you get in Berlin
Yeah, that's what you get in Berlin
Please, behave yourself the way you'd like to be treated
Just because you're on holiday doesn't mean you have to act that way
Or else we'll come by your village next week
We're three and a half million and most of us could spare the time
TV Tower, TV Tower, you guys best stay up there
Take your time gazing at the city from the merry-go-round
They keep plenty of food up there
And after a week you go home
Your bus is already waiting. And when you get home you'll say:
Berlin is mighty big!
Police, a robbery! If you're looking for a special kick
We've got an all-inclusive package for you:
Disband the tour group, and every one fight on their own
Marooned at the Muggelsee, see how you find your way home.
Berlin is really big!
Please, behave yourself the way you'd like to be treated
Just because you're on holiday doesn't mean you have to act that way
Or else we'll come by your village next week
(All of us too!)
We're three and a half million and most of us could spare the time
Tell me, where do all the tourists come from?
Who drove them? Who flew them here?
And where do they land? Well, where are they landing?
Ladies and gentlemen, take a seat where you're not in peoples way
On a steamer: up the Spree, down the Landwehrkanal
Bus 100, Bus 200. And now brand-new: the M 10 party tram
Take a good look around. But hush!
The passenger next to you might not be on holiday
It just looks that way
Please, behave yourself the way you'd like to be treated
(This train terminates here.)
Just because youre on holiday doesn't mean you have to act that way
(There are beautiful places elsewhere you know!)
Or else we'll drop by your village next week
(Parlez-vous espagnol?)
We're three and a half million
And most of us could spare the time
Well, how about it?
