Opa Pritschikowski

Gramps Pritschikowski from the Ruhr area
Has known the blue miners since 1904
He never missed a game, only once was he sick
It's a torture for grandma when he says in the morning:

Whether I rust and calcify, I still go to Schalke
Whether I weaken and gray - I love royal blue

Szepan and Kuzorra are names that are known
Could combine them, called it the Schalke whirl
On their golden wedding anniversary, grandma almost went crazy
When grandpa quietly slipped away to the final

Whether I rust and calcify, I still go to Schalke
Whether I weaken and gray - I love royal blue

Gramps Pritschikowski from the beautiful Emscher beach
Is well known in Schalke circles as a mascot
When he shouts his battle cry into the Schalke field
All Schalke fans join in his little song:

Whether I rust and calcify, I still go to Schalke
Whether I weaken and gray - I love royal blue
