We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay...
Cleopatra reduced big man Caesar
To a little boy in a night
And Ghenghis Khan
Actually fathered only three children
And Schmidt
Got his Strauß1
And Strauß
Got his Schmidt
Napoleon got his Waterloo
There's billions of people on this Earth
And you are one of them - hey hey
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
Yeah, Cassius Clay is knocking you out
And Khrushchev is banging his shoe
A wallflower is waiting for her man forever
And Heino is singing along
People in the city dream of the quiet countryside
The farmer dreams of the big city
For that's the way it is
Everybody wants what the other one's got - hey hey
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
And Mona Lisa
Will still be smiling
When we've run out of reasons to smile
And we're singing in German
Even though Germans prefer listening to English these days
Alice2 is talking about feminism
The pastor's talking about celibacy
And that's what they call revolution
And now look where it got us - hey hey
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
We're all in this together - la dee la dee o-kay
