Krautpleasers lyrics

They call us Krauts and it is true: we love our grub

Bratwurst and strudel, schnitzel, wiener and a schnaps

Ja, we put on the lederhosen, eat sauerbraten

The wunderkind goes to kindergarten

Fahrvergnügen on the autobahn

And joking is verboten, darling

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

How did we get to this misleading folk cliché?

Is there a common German leitmotiv, I pray?

What happened to philosophy

Freud's doppelganger and Hegel's spiel

To zeitgeist and the German angst

Weltschmerz and kitsch, just take a chance

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

The world knows all about our past

Of Blitzkrieg, Reich and Hitler's brass

The building of the Berlin wall

In 89, about its fall

Back in the 80s, Nena crooned

Of 99 hot air balloons

Today our football teams are blessed

We recycle at our best

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers

How great would be the world without

Beethoven, Einstein, both were Krauts

Schiller and Schiffer, Weill and Kant

Adidas, Heinrich Steinway and his Sons

The Bauhaus, Wagner, Marx and Lang

Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen?

Without us, this old world would be

Devoid of genius, wurst and history!

We are the Kraut pleasers

We are the Kraut pleasers
