bei a paar Wuchteln und bei an Bier.
Auf amoi gibts beim Eingang furn an Murds-Drahrah,
weul a Nackerter kummt eine bei der Tar.
Da oide Hawelka sagt: "Suach ma an Plotz."
Oba sie macht an Botzen Bahaa,
weul sie mant das sowas do net geht.
Ref:
Jö schau, a so a Sau. Jassas na.
Was macht a Nackerter im Hawelka?!
Geh wui, oiso pfui meinersall,
herst i schenierert mi an seiner Stall.
Aner ruaft: "A Wahnsinn!
Gebts eahm wos zum anziehn!"
Doch sei Freindin mant ja fesch:
"Endlich aner ohne Wesch!"
Jö schau, a so a Sau.
Jassas na, was macht a Nackerter im Hawelka?!
Der Ober Fritz sogt: "Wir sind heir ein Stadtlokal,
und wos sie do machen is a Schweinerei."
A oida Schauspaler mein wiederum: "Aber geh!
Oiso i find do gar nix dabei."
Drauf sogt der Nackerte: "Moment! Moment!
Sie wissen wohl net wer ich bin.
A wann mi kaner kennt i bin sehr prominent
als elegandester Flitzer von Wien."
Jö schau, so a Sauu....
Moch ma hoit a Ausnahm,
sei ma heit net grausam,
weil ein Pro-Mileu-Lokal
scheist auf Spiesbargermoral.
Jö schau, a so a sau.
The lyrics of Georg Danzer's song "Jö schau" describe a situation where the singer is sitting in a café called Hawelka, enjoying some food and beer, when suddenly a naked man enters the establishment causing a commotion. The owner of the café, the "oide Hawelka", is appalled and asks him to leave, but the naked man insists that he is a prominent figure in Vienna and should be allowed to stay. The other patrons of the café have different reactions to the situation, some finding it amusing, while others find it offensive.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on societal norms and how they are enforced. The naked man represents a deviation from the norm, and the reactions of the other characters in the song reflect society's conflicting attitudes towards those who do not conform. The fact that the naked man claims to be a "prominent" figure highlights the idea that certain people are given more leeway to break societal norms than others.
Overall, the song can be seen as a critique of the hypocrisy present in society, where certain individuals are held to different standards because of their status, and how society enforces norms that are often arbitrary and oppressive.
