Mutter, Der Mann Mit Dem Koks

Mother, the man with the coke is here
Mother, oh, mother, mother, mother, oh mother
The man with the coke is coming
The man with the coke is coming
Oh, mother, the man with the coke is here

Once called the black gold of the Ruhr
It provided warmth, persistence, and energy
In a special chemical process
The gases evaporated from the raw material
From coal came coke
People longed for the energy
That the coke provided them, but for
The people, the substance was too expensive
Mother, oh, mother hah hah hah

The man with the coke is here
Mother, the man with the coke is here
Yes, my boy, I know that
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?

The black gold has turned white
Take a simple recipe
And coke turns back into coal (coal, coal, coal)
Warmth, coziness, energy (energy, energy, energy)
Warmth, coziness, energy
Mother, oh, mother
The man with the coke is here
