[Maybebop - Krautpleasers songtext lyrics]
They call us Krauts and it is
True: we love our grub
Bratwurst and strudel, schnitzel
Wiener and a schnaps
Ja, we put on the lederhosen, eat sauerbraten
The wunderkind goes to kindergarten
Fahrvergnügen on the autobahn
And joking is verboten, darling
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
How did we get to
This misleading folk cliché?
Is there a common German leitmotiv, I pray?
What happened to philosophy
Freud's doppelganger and Hegel's spiel
To zeitgeist and the German angst
Weltschmerz and kit'sch, just take a chance
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
The world knows all about our past
Of Blitzkrieg, Reich and Hitler's brass
The building of the Berlin wall
In 89, about it's fall
Back in the 80s, Nena crooned
Of 99 hot air balloons
Today our football teams are blessed
We recycle at our best
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
How great would be the world without
Beethoven, Einstein, both were Krauts
Schiller and Schiffer, Weill and Kant
Adidas, Heinrich Steinway and his Sons
The Bauhaus, Wagner, Marx and Lang
Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen?
Without us, this old world would be
Devoid of genius, wurst and history!
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
True: we love our grub
Bratwurst and strudel, schnitzel
Wiener and a schnaps
Ja, we put on the lederhosen, eat sauerbraten
The wunderkind goes to kindergarten
Fahrvergnügen on the autobahn
And joking is verboten, darling
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
How did we get to
This misleading folk cliché?
Is there a common German leitmotiv, I pray?
What happened to philosophy
Freud's doppelganger and Hegel's spiel
To zeitgeist and the German angst
Weltschmerz and kit'sch, just take a chance
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
The world knows all about our past
Of Blitzkrieg, Reich and Hitler's brass
The building of the Berlin wall
In 89, about it's fall
Back in the 80s, Nena crooned
Of 99 hot air balloons
Today our football teams are blessed
We recycle at our best
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
How great would be the world without

We are the Kraut pleasers
We are the Kraut pleasers
