Er war ein Punk
Und er lebte
In der großen Stadt
In ganz Wien
Alles weiß
Er war ein Mann der Tat
Er hatte Schulden
Denn er trank und er liebte alle Frauen

Jede rief
Come and rock me Amadeus

Er hatte wiener Blut
Er war Populär
Er war die Nummer eins
Genau das war sein Flair
Er wurde niemals satt
It was the sound of Musik
Alles ruft
Come and rock me Amadeus

He was emotional
Genau das war sein Flair
