Du willst mir an die Wäsche [English translation]

Lights out, the film's starting

And Rosemarie is having her next kid

We can't get the gossip from Babylon1

Whatever will be, will be-it's no one else's fault.

A shot, a scream-who calls the police?

We've got too many cooks and not enough broth

In the south it stays dry and mild.

And Scarlett weeps and Pussycat kills.

And you, you, you, you're trying to feel up2

And you, you, you, you're trying to feel up

The strange countess, she isn't all there

Whatever will be, will be, but it won't come to light

The Garden of Eden withered long ago

That's all for the weather, now here's the sports news.

Pat's chasing Garet chasing Billy the Kid

At every turn in the director's cut

Can't get anything through the grapevine from Babylon

And Jackie Brown gets away once again.

And you, you, you, you're trying to feel up

And you, you, you, you're trying to feel up

You hang up your flag, and then don't look up

Reason enough not to trust your word

You drink whiskey with your friends and Bordeaux with girls

More reason not to trust you as far as I can throw you.

'Cus you, you, you, you're trying to feel me up

'Cus you, you, you, you're trying to feel me up

Two scoundrels and The Third Man

Harry Lime3, who'll be next?

Clouseau4 shows up, the sting was fouled up

it was his own fault, his spurs were much too loud

Harold and Sally, Harry and Maude

The Firm, The Tenant, The House, and Das Boot5

A Clockwork Orange and Death Wish

And under the gallows play me the song of death6

And you, you, you, you're....

I've come to the ball late, that means: Right on time once again

You think you're cooler than you really are, and you strut around like you're God-knows-who

It smells like popcorn, I'm throwing rice, and it's getting more and more colorful

I pull nervously on my red apple, which only brings you down

And you, you, you, you're...

You're looking at the ground, and raising your brows

Trying to make like you're looking at me

You're a man's man, and you're into chicks

But you're pretty close to overdoing it.

And you, you, you, you're

1. The line literally goes "The talking drum is transmitting faultily in Babylon." "Busch" here, is short for "Buschtrommel" which is the German word for "talking drum" (and also a colloquialism for gossip, rumors, etc. See wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_drum2. I didn't translate the chorus literally because I think the idea is the guy doesn't just want to feel her up, but that he is actually trying it right then and there in the theater. Literally: "You want to be on my clothes"3. a character in the film "The Third Man."4. the French police detective from the film "The Pink Panther"5. a very excellent German WW2 submarine film6. "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod" is the german title of the spaghetti western "Once Upon a Time in the West"
