damals irgendwo in дgypten
bier aus der flasche und eistee von lipton
sie haben gesungen und ich hab fast geweint vor glьck
warum stehen die grцЯten immer nur vor mir
ob ich das verstehe war dir doch egal
ich weiss jetzt warum ich freiburg hasse
und ich war noch nicht mal dort

und ich hab mit tocotronic bier getrunken
und du hast sie nur live gesehen
und ich, ich war etwas angetrunken
ich werd sie live mal wieder sehen

unser wiedersehn am tag als der pop kam
hamburger fussball, riesenrad fahren
viele worte klingen jetzt noch immer nach

und ich hab mit tocotronic bier getrunken
und du hast sie nur live gesehen

und ich, ich war etwas angetrunken
ich werd sie live mal wieder sehen
