King of the Road [English translation]

Right when the street burns1,

that's when I'm in my element.

How I rush to the gas station

for coffee and cigarettes,

and then back on the gas -

I love the way I blow away the Benz!

I'm almost a Formula One Driver:

King of the Road!

The left lane is rarely free -

I signal to the left and pass to the right.

But I'll only be a real terror

in a dismal traffic jam and drive

200 km/h -

why is the breakdown lane there?

Please don't call me a slob,

King of the Road!

Privately I'm nice and helpful.

In the car I turn into Mr. Hyde.

I say "hello" politely

before I run you into a ditch!

But I don't think there's anything special about it,

I'm a totally normal German man,

I'm just an Autobahn despot -

King of the Road!

It doesn't make a lot of sense,

but it's in my genes.

The car is the weapon of the small man:

The bigger the car, the smaller the ego...

I love the Autobahn,

and I love to drive.

I'm cool and fast and an idiot -

King of the Road!

1. i.e. putting rubber to the road
