At Uncle Pö's, a band of retirees
Has been playing Dixieland for twenty years now
They have a groupie, too
Her name is Rosa or something like that
And she's dancing on the table
Just like a go-go-go girl
And now there's Paula from St. Pauli1
Who takes off her clothes every time
And it's Lola's birthday
And they're raising their glasses, hoping
That one day she'll be as old
As she already looks
And anyway, everything's all right again
Aboard the Andrea Doria
And anyway, everything's all right again
Aboard the Andrea Doria
Gottfried is the name of the boy
Back there, at the piano
And for every ragtime he plays
He's given a schnapps and a beer
And some guy in the booth
Is shocking his girl
And Berni Flottman believes
That he's an astronaut
Now another one is coming over
From the booming discotheque
And I guess that our steam ship is about to sink
But everything else is all right today
Aboard the Andrea Doria
Andrea Doria...
At Uncle Pö's, a band of retirees
Has been playing Dixieland for twenty years now
They have a groupie, too
Her name is Rosa or something like that
And she's dancing on the table
Just like a go-go-go girl
Once more, it doesn't even really matter
And Leda is dreaming of a pelican
And either way, it's been far too late
And even the shrink has not idea how to carry on
But everything else is all right today
Aboard the Andrea Doria
