Wunschkonzert

Request concert at a quarter past seven
Open your ears, open your heart
With flowery greetings from here to there
With colorful melodies and cheerful jokes
Blasius Ölig is back again today
Bringing something for everyone, even if it’s not their style -
For Uncle Karl and Aunt Frieda
First, some curiosities from the opera world

For their golden anniversary, Mr. P. greets his wife with enduring love, still shining today
He wishes for her the aria "Get Lost, Nightmare" from the opera "The Night Ghost"
Mrs. Elli M. in Leiden is greeted by her dear son from Freudenstadt
With "Mother, Mother, just this one more time" from "Oedipus, the Never-Satisfied"
From the oratorio "The Wing Stormer," Miss G. from Frechen wishes

His ski bunny greets Mr. Hüttenschreck, this charming little lady
With "Do you have a steady relationship yet?" from the opera "The Slope Pig"

Request concert at a quarter past seven
Open your ears, open your heart
With flowery greetings from here to there
With colorful melodies and cheerful jokes
Blasius Ölig, the smooth talker
The man with the creamy voice
This tireless mood killer
Now announces fresh folk tunes

An enthusiastic hunter is celebrating his ninetieth birthday, it’s Mr. Z.
For him, his wife wishes the song "The Deer or Me, One’s Leaving the Bed!"
On the other hand, vagrant Q. turns a hundred, for him rings out
Now the song "Hey, vodka tastes good even without teeth," sung by Iwan Gedumarow
Even Mr. Öhi from the highlands turns one hundred fifty, for him we now play
"My love, you should put the dumplings in my cup this year"
Mr. Kunibert turns eight hundred thirty-six, a judge at the Last Judgment
Everyone is glad he’s been dead so long, he has no music request

Request concert at a quarter past seven
Open your ears, open your heart
With flowery greetings from here to there
With colorful melodies and cheerful jokes
Blasius Ölig fears no topic
He makes everyone happy and cheerful
And now brings for all workers
Cheerful tunes from the blast furnace and the office

As he enters retirement, Mr. M. is greeted by all his colleagues, for him we play here
The paycheck sonata for singing saw and booming hammer piano
At the same time, he’s also greeted by the gentlemen from the pension fund
With the song "You can’t stay with us forever!" from "Grandpa was young too"
Office assistant K. is greeted by the waitress from his regular café
With "Sleeve protectors don’t lie" from the musical "Chair Farter Goodbye"
Mr. Director A. greets his street acquaintance, apparently a sharp tooth
With "How fleeting are the hours of love" from "Don Carlos on the Reeperbahn"

Request concert at a quarter past seven,
Radio can’t get any better than this
Even Dr. Sauerbier has written:
"Better open ears than an open leg!"
Blasius Ölig now says to everyone:
"Goodbye now, dear ones, time is tight
If you didn’t enjoy it today
Tune out early next time!"
