Wie man sich bettet [English translation]

When others go to work

I roll over in bed

The idea is not so stupid:

You make your bed and then lie in it

In the past I slaved away

Was usually tired and exhausted

Today I know what living means:

You make your bed and then lie in it

Billy Joe and I, the two of us

Made ourselves a nest

Like the sparrows on the roof

People looked stupidly

He plays bass in a band

And money is tight

Just enough for the rent and some chips

And a small car in the yard

When others go to work

I roll over in bed

The idea is not so stupid:

You make your bed and then lie in it

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all

When the neighbour pays his taxes

He gets wrinkles in his face

And his gall bladder hurts

He's a poor wretch

And then he gets angry

When he sees we're fine

In the suit that fits us best

Without panic, without haste

When others go to work

I roll over in bed

The idea is not so stupid:

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all

You make your bed and then lie in it, right

And nothing else is important at all
