Der Papa wird's schon richten [English translation]

This is the story of a good man;

Whenever worse comes to worst, well, the poor guy has to go to it.

For whenever the toilet's clogged, the bathtub leaks,

Whenever the family is up to its neck in trouble,

Then it's “Dad, you're up!” They cry out in chorus:

Dad will take care of it, Dad will make it okay;

Dad does everything that no one else does.

Dad will take care of it. Fortunately, we have

Good old Dad, our pride and joy.

The son shoots with his slingshot and misses the mark;

The stone flies wild and hits the police,

Who come at once, five men strong, zooming with blue lights.

The son runs away, only Dad is at home.

From a distance, the son exclaims, “My Dad'll clear it up”.

Dad will take care of it, Dad will make it okay;

Dad does everything that no one else does.

Dad will take care of it. Fortunately, we have

Good old Dad, our pride and joy.

The daughter didn't get home until late, and quietly opens the door.

Tears are rolling down; it's already 4 AM.

The car that Dad lent her is just a pile of metal;

It was her bad luck that a tree was in her way.

She whispers, quite nervously, “Now Dad, don't be angry.”

Dad will take care of it, Dad will make it okay;

Dad does everything that no one else does.

Dad will take care of it. Fortunately, we have

Good old Dad, our pride and joy.

Grandpa's just fallen in love; the bride is 20 years old.

The daughter is about to have a child, and doesn't know who it was.

The son brings his report card home. The best grade: D.

Mom burns the dinner, and raps at the door.

Could be worse, we'll manage.

Dad will take care of it, Dad will make it okay;

Dad does everything that no one else does.

Dad will take care of it. Fortunately, we have

Good old Dad, our pride and joy.

Dad will take care of it, Dad will make it okay;

Dad does everything that no one else does.

Dad will take care of it. Fortunately, we have

Good old Dad, our pride and joy..
