Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

When I first set myself on the road

I was stunned by sights untold

By the sea and across the lands

With a calming drink in hand

Italian way, grappa grappa hey

Deutschland lager, uber alles

If Aquavit left me feeling bleak

A pint of bitter will make me cheers!

Hey hey hey

I'm a man with a plan

The plan is to booze as much as I can

Hey hey hey

I will be this way

Until the fall of my final day

Hey hey hey

I'm a man with a plan

The plan is to booze as much as I can

Hey hey hey

I will be this way

Until the fall of my final day

Spirits are high tonight

Mostly of bottled kind

Our clan is gathered here

The plan is loud and clear

Everyone in full swing

Brothers of kin will attempt to 'sing'

No one care what tomorrow brings

And the sauna burns down again!

Hey hey hey

I'm a man with a plan

The plan is to booze as much as I can

Hey hey hey

I will be this way

Until the fall of my final day

Hey hey hey

I'm a man with a plan

The plan is to booze as much as I can

Hey hey hey

I will be this way

Until the fall of my final day

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

I'm a man with a plan

Hey hey hey

I'm a man with a plan

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey
