Auf'm rummel (translation)

We're standing around the carnival in Treptow
Drinking a quick cool beer
Lemme buy you all a shot of Schnapps.

And we finish off the beer and the Schnapps
Take one more fast ride in the chamber of horrors.
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says: Minelli's here
Hey, let's see if it's for real.

But it was all a bum steer,
Only Nina Hagen, nothin' happenin'
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says: a band's playing up front,
Hey, let's go over and give a listen.

Like I should go, or should I stay
I mean, you gotta do somethin'
Should I go, or should I stay
Or who knows what
What I can do.

The band was just doing a Jethro Tull hit
They played so rotten, man, not one sound was right
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says, c'mon over to my place,
I'm throwing a garden fete.

And we take the s-bahn out to Dahlem,
Sit around listening to music.
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says: ain't nothin' happenin' here, nah,
Ain't absolutely nothin' happenin' here.
