Vielen Dank für die Blumen [English translation]

As a man of action you're on good terms with the boss

When I made a pass at the secretary

I did my best and probably exaggerated

Because at work the boss comes first

He called me into his office and said: "You surely understand

It would be awful to lose you in this job

I really don't know how things should go on without you

But maybe we should give it a try by the start of next month?"

Thanks for the flowers!

Thanks, how sweet of you!

Sometimes life likes to play a game of cat and mouse with you

There will always be someone who outplays you

Thanks for the flowers!

Thanks, how sweet of you!

I saw the most beautiful woman that ever attracted me

And it was true love at first glance

I felt like she already returned my feelings in silence

And thought: Man, how lucky you are again!

I knew for sure that everything would be clear this time

She looked at me and then said:

"You are the greatest man who's ever been there for me!

I am called Dieter and I'll make a move on you now!"

Thanks for the flowers!

Thanks, how sweet of you!

Sometimes life likes to play cat-and-mouse game with you

It will always exist: Someone who fools you

Thanks for the flowers!

Thanks, how sweet of you!

Red roses bloom and yet they are only a souvenir

Shame bushes bloom like a smile from you

Autumn crocuses bloom, consolingly saying to me:

Who gives a damn about losing occasionally?
