[English]

Die Wellen, die gehen hoch

Im Grand Success Resort

Ohne Stress, ja, ohne Stress

Füllen's auf den Prosecco

Füllen's auf

Geht scho, gimme more

Wir leben Magic Life

Papa haut sein neues Auto

Gegen irgendeinen Bau

Füllen's auf den Prosecco

Füllen's auf

Wir Verbrecher

Gehen Hand in Hand

Wir leben Magic Life
