Blaumann [English translation]

Wo-o-o, I know what I need now

Everything gets way too much;

Today I’ll call in with blue flu ¹

The alarm clock’s ringin’ and I can’t stop laughin’

I’ll take my hammer and beat time to death

I’ll be moving from the bed to the couch

Today's breakfast is dark beer with white bread

Turn the bube tube on, turn the bube tube off again ²

Don’t care ‘bout anything, I’ll even go out in the nude

Screw the beach; I’ll vacation on my balcony

Water me and the begonias, please

Bridge:

I don’t go out as usual

Hang out in my condo

Play Go Fish with my cat ³

This weather’s more than killer

Can always work later

Today I’ll just call in sick!

Ref:

Wo-o-o, I know what I need now

Everything gets way too much;

Today I’ll call in with blue flu

Wo-o-o, I now know what I want

To unwind in the sunshine ⁴

On my sun recliner

Today I want to just chill

I’ll let my cell phone ring

Won’t answer a dat-gum thing ⁵

Got stuff to do, like staring holes in the wall

I’ll fill the bathtub full ‘til the rim

Before I take a running start and belly flop straight in

Today I’m a hardcore chiller just takin’ a breather

I’ll play safari in my condo just in slippers

The whole day is a little dream

The only thing I’m doing today is twiddling my thumbs

I don’t go out as usual

Hang out in my condo

Play Go Fish with my cat

This weather’s more than killer

Can always work later

Today I’ll just call in sick!

Ref:

Wo-o-o, I know what I need now

Everything’s gets way too much;

Today I’ll call in with blue flu

Wo-o-o, I now know what I want

To unwind in the sunshine

On my sun recliner

Today I want to just chill

Yesterday I could still function

T’morrow I’ll be up to snuff again

Then everything will run smoothly again

And greet the ground hog daily

But I won’t wave back today

Wo-o-o, I know what I need now

Everything gets way too much;

Today I’ll call in with blue flu

Wo-o-o, I now know what I want

To unwind in the sunshine

On my sun recliner

Today I want to just chill

Wo-o-o,

To relax in the sunshine

On my sun recliner

Today I want to just chill
