One day it all of a sudden fell in front of the Cathedral.
People normally say: Everything good comes from above.
It was red and looked like a gigantic ball.
Now it was lying there and presumably came directly from out of space.
They called the German Border Police, the Technical Relief Organisation and the police,
They cordoned off the whole place and called experts.
The geologists only distressedly struggled for words.
They said: "The way it looks, this is an outrageous thing!"
An outrageous thing, this is an outrageous thing.
An outrageous thing, this is an outrageous thing.
This object, lying there and about which I sing
It is 'n outrageous thing, 'n outrageous thing.
Experts were helpless and started speculating:
"First we have to evacuate the whole city!
This could become dangerous, there's no doubt!"
Spontaneously they sent the population way deep into the Eifel*.
A scientist then took a sample of the tissue
And said: "I hope I survive this operation!
First we have to see what results the lab gives.
At present, only one thing is clear: This is an outrageous thing!"
An outrageous thing...
But also the specialists in the most important labs
Didn't know an answer and got red ears.
The head of NASA research-staff said:
"That's a weird thing. But as far as I'm concerned
I think it's just 'n outrageous thing!"
An outrageous thing...
