Mein Bitte Songtext / Lyric

I want a good deal

better if it's free

but I charge a lot

want more money

don't want to work

just want more pay

cut corners here

make more that way



(meanwhile...)



I work in a large room

(I work in a room that's large and bare)

I'm at this workbench every day

(I never miss a day)

I keep my tools very organized

(I have a special place

for all my tools)

this tinny radio is all I play

(I love music)






I'm working on this new invention

(and I'm really, really excited about it)

I think it needs something extra here

(in the evenings I read tool catalogues)

I'm studying the grain of my workbench

(I can fix anything you like)

I'm humming a tune while I wait

for the answer to appear



when I get stuck I go fishing



put in the clutch so to speak and glide

I coast among the rabble

and the right words

in my work I take great pride



(meanwhile)



I need more things

I need more money

don't want to work

want things for free

cut corners here

make more that way

I have no pride

the world is unfair

wah...



my shop is a long meadow

in a winding landscape

in a series of elevations

with a few cows

and a babbling brook



I love to do what I love to do

this excludes anything I don't like to do

the pleasure is in the peace of mind

the pleasure is mine

mein bitte...



mein bitte: to me it means "my pleasure/what makes one tick
