Eine wie du, eine wie du, singt was ihr Freude macht
Wenn ihr die Liebe lacht
Eine wie du, eine wie du, weiß wenn Musik sie spürt
Dass sie ihr Herz verliert
Eine wie du, eine wie du, sucht jeden Augenblick
Singend ihr Lebensglück
Eine wie du, eine wie du, braucht immer wieder Musik

Sing, Baby sing ein Lied für mich
