Hymne an den Alkohol (Wir haben Grund zum Feiern)
Otto Waalkes
Hymn to Alcohol (We Have Reason to Celebrate)
Colorful coronation, your purple,
Grappa, calvados, tequila,
Asbach Uralt, Spätburgunder, vermouth and Pernod.
Williams pear, Dejardin,
Hennessy, Remis-Matin,
Fernet-Branca, Underberg, port wine and Bordeaux
Johnny Walker, Jägermeister,
Amaretto, Kellergeist,
Scharlatberg and double grain,
Now the whole thing again from the beginning:
We have reason to celebrate,
No one can walk anymore,
But we can still drink!
We have reason to celebrate,
Even if we're sick to our stomachs,
Bring the next bucket
Bommerlunder, Ballentine's,
Today is all the same to us,
Pear schnapps and apple wine,
We put everything in..
Whisky sweet and whisky sour,
The main thing is we get bluer,
Ramazotti, Ratzeputz and a bull of rum!
Gin, Campari, Grand Marnier,
Finally the head hurts.
With Dornkamp and Mariakron
Into delirium.
Klosterfrau Melissengeist,
Or whatever the stuff is called,
Eau de Cologne Petranol;
We don't just burp - we're already puking!
We have reason to celebrate -
It devours even the intestines,
Yet it gives us warmth...
We have reason to celebrate -
Our last will always more promille...
