Jambalaya
Casper Lyrics

Zu der 2, 3 zu der 4
Counting along to the rhythm of the beat

Es macht Pam Pam an der Tür (hey hey hey)
The sound of the drums is heard all the way to the door

Zu der 6, 7 und 8
Continuing to count along to the beat

Guck das Biest ist nun wieder erwacht
The beast (referring to Casper) has risen again

Guck ich kann es, guck ich kann es
Casper is proud of his skills and abilities

Plötzlich ist alles anders
Things have changed dramatically for Casper since becoming successful

Sie campen vor den Hallen und fragen nach Autogrammen
Fans wait outside the concert halls and ask for autographs

Kreischen nun meinen Namen
Fans scream Casper's name

Klappen dabei zusammen
Fans even faint from the excitement of seeing Casper

Haben Ohnmachtsanfälle bevor wir angefangen haben
Fans faint before Casper even begins performing

Komm aus nem Redneck Ort,
Casper grew up in a place known for its hillbilly culture

Lieben NASCAR dort so wie Chevvy Ford
People in this area love NASCAR and Chevrolet/Ford cars

Wo der Vetter Bob in nem Methlabor seine Päckchen kocht
Casper's cousin Bob operates a meth lab in this area

Allein mit Taperecorder dort in nem Kinderzimmer
Casper spent much of his childhood recording music in his bedroom

Groß gezogen auf Peter Tosh, Dylan und Lynyrd Skynyrd
Casper was raised listening to artists such as Peter Tosh, Bob Dylan, and Lynyrd Skynyrd

Sommer immer nie Winter, Sand so rot wie die Haut
The summers are long and hot, and the sand is red like skin

Zirpende Grillen klingen, Moskitos so groß wie ne Faust
The sound of chirping crickets is common, as are mosquitoes the size of fists

Ay Yo ich kam von daher
Casper came from this place

Stadt des Mardi Gras, Land aller Drum Liner
Casper comes from a place known for Mardi Gras festivities and marching bands

Coo Coo wie Voodoo, so verflucht heiß wie das Jambalaya
The culture in Casper's hometown is like Voodoo and the Jambalaya dish is very spicy

Halleluja, Halle-Halleluja
Casper is excited about the current moment

Endlich ist es wieder so weit (hey hey hey)
It's finally happening again

Ein paar wollten's probieren, versucht ihn zu kopieren
Others have tried to imitate Casper's style

Doch nun ist es endlich mal Zeit
It's time for Casper's original style once again

Für das Original!
Chanting and supporting Casper's original style

Er darf, er darf, er darf
Casper is allowed to do what he wants with his music

Tun was er will, tun was er will
Casper has artistic freedom

So groß kann den Himmel berühr'n
Casper's success has allowed him to reach great heights

Also Prost, es wird nie mehr so wie früher
Cheers to the future, things will never be the same as before

Zu der 9, 9 zu der 10
Continuing to count along to the beat

Alle nach ihm dürfen gerne jetzt gehen
Everyone else can leave now, it's Casper's turn

Erst kam die Kopie, dann die Kopie der Kopie
Others have imitated Casper's style, but the imitations were also copied

Indie basierte Beats, gespielte Melancholie
The copied styles are often based on indie beats and fake sadness

Tagebuchpoesie, billig klingende Melodien (yeah)
The copied styles often include poetic diary entries and cheap sounding melodies

Alle wollen sein wie mein Team, aber wissen leider nicht wie
Everyone wants to be like Casper and his team, but they don't know how to do it authentically

Komm mit der Boom Boom Band im Rücken, Wände zittern
Casper performs with a live band, and the walls shake from the music

Fühl die Bässe drücken, wie Fans am Geländer sich ans Ende schwitzen
The bass is so strong that fans are sweating and holding onto the railing

Stundenlang Händeschütteln, Küsschen für Mister Griffey
Casper spends hours shaking hands and greeting fans

Kam von Atlanta, Alabama zu den Sümpfen von Mississippi
Casper has traveled from Atlanta, Alabama to the swamps of Mississippi

Yo mit Schrot in den Flinten, im Suff auf Dosenbier schießen
Casper likes to shoot cans with a shotgun while drinking beer

Biss mich von unten nach oben so wie nen Krokodil-Kiefer
Casper is hungry for success, like a crocodile biting from the bottom up

Ey Yo, vom Trailerpark zum Szenestar, denk jedes Jahr
Casper has gone from living in a trailer park to becoming a star, and he thinks about it every year

Wie ewig lang, aber seht mal an wir sind endlich da!
It seemed like it took forever, but they have finally made it

Hey hey hey
A celebratory chant

Nun ist es endlich mal Zeit
It's finally time
