Marius Müller-Westernhagen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Marion aus Pinneberg.
Du fährst jeden Samstag in die Stadt
Zum Tanzen.
Du ziehst die engsten Hosen an.
Klebst Wimpern.
Du musst nicht zu Firma Franzen.

Wochenende, kleines Glück

Montag in den Trott zurück.
Wochenende, grosse Schau.
Man, du bist schon reichlich blau.

Samstag, Sonntag bist du frei.
Da ist dir alles einerlei.
Du liebst das.
Du spielst dann den grossen Star.
Obwohl du weisst, das ist nicht wahr.
Du pfeifst drauf.

Wochenende, kleines Glück.
Montag in den Trott zurück.
Wochenende, grosse Schau.
Montag, dein Gesicht ist grau.

Du nimmst den letzten Bus,
Schleichst in die Wohnung rein,
Damit Dein Vater ja nichts hört.
Dir tun die Füße weh.
Du ziehst die Stiefel aus.
Morgen ist Sonntag.
Wie scharf, da schläfst du aus.

Wochenende, kleines Glück.
Montag in den Trott zurück.

Wochenende, grosse Schau.
Montag, dein Gesicht ist grau
