Wilhelm Wilhelm

by Amon Düül II

on Made In Germany (1975)

Wilhelm, Wilhelm, the nation needs you
'Cause a Kaiser is needed partout
Voluntarily willing
A welcome way in Compiègne

Ma-Ma-Maria-Theresa meets Marie-Louise
Kurfürstendamm relates to the peace of Schönbrunn
Deliberately puzzling
The crème de la crème of their age

"Rien ne va plus à Sedan," said Napoléon le troisième
For the sake of saving his face
Unwillingly visiting
Wilhelmshöhe im Wald

"Mirror, mirror," asks Bismarck beaming
"Who's united in this land?"
Deliberately lending
A hand to a entente cordiale

(Mensch, Willi, i lieb di ja so sehr)

Garibaldi's glorious gladiators
Guard the peace south the Limes
Simultaneously willing
Rosso bianco e verde

General, General who guards the Grand Canyon
Ulysses liberalises the KKK's regime
Indefinitely ruling
From '69 to '77 pm
