Auf Wiedersehen

by Lord Invader & his Calypso Group

on Calypso Travels (1959) Calypso in New York (2000)

Yes, when I landed in Germany
I really invaded the country
Imagine me, landing in Germany
And upsetting the whole country

But when the Lord Invader was leaving
Imagine how all my friiuleines was crying
"Enschuldig mir" which means excuse me
They had my whole-hearted sympathy

Hear me telling them, "wiedersehn, wiedersehn"
Goodbye in English is the meaning
Wiedershaun, wiedershaun
I'm going to send the baby a pram

It was a great honor and privilege
For them to hear me speak their own language
"Guten morgen" which is good morning
"Guten abend" that is good evening

Hear me telling them "ich liebe dich"
That means "I love them" in English
Hear them jivin' "meine lieber, das ist screamer"
Which mean that "I'm a good love-maker"

Hear me telling them, "wiedersehn, wiedersehn"
Goodbye in English is the meaning
Wiedershaun, wiedershaun
I'm going to send the baby a pram

My first invasion in Germany
Was Hamburg, the Reperbahn, St. Pauli
Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, and Munchen
Cologne, Nurenberg, and Berlin

When they ask me what I'm eating
They say "waszu essen?"
What I'm drinking "waszu Trinken?"
But is to hear me thanking them then by saying
"Meine liebchen, danke schoenl"

Hear me telling them, "wiedersehn, wiedersehn"
Goodbye in English is the meaning
Wiedershaun, wiedershaun
I'm going to send the baby a pram

Wiedersehn, Wiederschaun!
