Klabautermann

The fog was thick and dense -
You couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The ship sailed silently through the sea -
The helmsman couldn't see a thing.
Fear spread among the crew -
And everyone drank too much rum.
To keep any misfortune at bay -
They sang the old song today:

Hey hey Klabautermann - our ship is your home
Huh huh and if you want, we'll sink with all hands on deck
Hey hey Klabautermann - let's raise another glass of rum
Huh huh trust me, a sailor won't back down
A sailor won't back down.

The cook hid in the cupboard
The mate crawled under the deck
The helmsman had goosebumps
And only the captain shouted loud:

Hey hey Klabautermann - our ship is your home
...
Hey hey Klabautermann - everyone’s talking about you
Huh huh and who's scared - everyone but us.
Hey hey Klabautermann - everyone here on board knows
Huh huh you're just an old water spirit
Just an old water spirit.

Hey Captain - Aye - We saw something - What? - No idea -
Is it an iceberg? - No! - Is it a great white shark? - No! -
Is it a coral reef? - No! - Is it the Klabautermann? - Yes!!!

His laughter goes through bone and marrow -
Don't touch me, Klabautermann
Pulls us into a watery grave -
I'm so scared, Klabautermann
The storm breaks loose, the thunder crashes -
Now it really starts, Klabautermann
The lightning flashes through the night and he laughs.

Hey hey Klabautermann - our ship is your home
...
Hey hey Klabautermann - everyone’s talking about you
Hey hey Klabautermann - no one has seen your face
Huh huh and whoever hears you
Will never forget your laughter.
Hey hey Klabautermann - this ship can't be harmed
Huh huh we will never
Never go down
Never go down.

Hey Captain!! - Aye - Hey Captain! - Aye - That's not an iceberg! - No! -
That's not a coral reef! - No! - That's the Klabautermann! - Yes!!!...
