When you're sitting in school, sweating over your books
And the sun is shining, that's when you'd rather be outside
Once school's finally out, the children walk home merrily
And little Klaus calls out after little Hans:
Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand
And let's all go out to Wannsee1
We're cycling like the wind through Grunewald forest
And soon we're gonna reach Wannsee
Hey, we're frolicking like fish in the water, that's nice
And your little sister is the only one who doesn't dare go in
Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand
For we have to be home by eight
"Why don't we go to the movies and watch Tom Mix?"
Little Fritz is asking me, I replied "You must be joking!
Look at the skies above, blue as far as the eye can see
I'm going out to Wannsee and don't give a damn about Tom Mix"
Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand
And let's all go out to Wannsee
We're cycling like the wind through Grunewald forest
And soon we're gonna reach Wannsee
Hey, we're frolicking like fish in the water, that's nice
And your little sister is the only one who doesn't dare go in the water
Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand
For we have to be home by eight
Hey, we're frolicking like fish in the water, that's nice
And your little sister is the only one who doesn't dare go in the water
Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand
For we have to be home by eight
