Äppelknyckarjazz [English translation]
Spoken:
Yes, brothers and sisters, lassies and lads
It's an honour to present for you
Apple stealer jazz
Song:
Run! My neighbour's closing in on me, he claims I'm stealing apples from his apple tree
Run! I wish him well but I have to do something about our misery
Run! My father's a proletarian and he works late but he can't afford food so
Run! Sure, I've got my reason and my neighbour's a millionaire by the way
Hey! I gotta run now, 'cuz if my neighbour catches up on me this'll end sadly
Hey! No, I can't doubt now, 'cuz if my mom catches me I'll be grounded
Run! My mother's a missionairy and says that I miss out the heavenly world that
Run! My priest has promised my soul on the sunday prayer but I wasn't there, and
Run! That I only make trouble in the neighbourhood but the food isn't here, so
Run! Where is Jesus when we need help to pay in the store?
I come like a thief at night to the big countryside estates
The disponents are sitting on porches noticing nothing due to the strong brandy
Filling up my rucksack with apples to sell at the market
And put every penny into the mattress hoping that I won't have to pay tax
Hey! I gotta run now, 'cuz if the police catches up on me I'll be thrown into jail now
Hey! No, I can't answer now, but you can call me next week, I might've gone out then
Run! The tax-collector's chasing me, I declared incorrectly on some thing
Run! He's going to give me some new application for to fill in but that can't be right, 'cuz
Run! The directors are living nicely earning more money than my entire family, so
Run! Something's gotta be wrong, I must steal apples to keep myself full, it works
Hey! I gotta run now, 'cuz if my neighbour catches up on me this'll end sadly
Hey! No, I can't doubt now, 'cuz if my mom catches me I'll be grounded
Run! I want to do right but the police is chasing me with batons and horses
Run! Say, is it better to rob people with banks and high revenues
Run! What'll happen next? Will there be a trial or an after-party?
Run! I hope to be let free but the prosecutor's moving for jail so
Can you tell me what's happening when safe-deposit boxes and cash change hands?
The big finance's flying between countries while I go to jail for stolen apples
On the airport where the big cheese arrive with high hats and golden teeth
With a capital invested in electoral rolls in order to have further power over the porr man
Hey!
Spoken:
Yes, this is the official break, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters
This is the moment for you to highlight your butts and show that you're humans
And shake them like there wasn't a day tomorrow, like if there were no worries
Hey! I gotta run now, 'cuz if the police catches up on me I'll be thrown into jail now
Hey! No, I can't answer now, but you can call me next week, I might've gone out then
