[Ed S]

------------------------------------

Lieber Junge
Bleibe ledig auf dieser Welt

firstly it is healthier
secondly you save money

---------------------

Trink Trink Bruederlein Trink
Lasset die Sorgen Zu Haus

drink drink brother drink
leave your sorrows at home

---------------------------

Du Du liegst mir am Herzen
Du Du liegst mir im Sinn
