The Hamburg Song

I was walking in the streets of Hamburg
It was freezing almost late December
I was stumbling, got a few too many

Take a fright
Someone popping up from the night
He says Moin, do you have a light?

I’m sorry man for my glassy eyes
And please ignore my crooked smile
I just came out of the Reeperbahn
You should go and have some fun

I was walking down - along the Elbe
It was late, almost around twelve
I was thinking I should get a jacket
Suddenly
Smoke’s the only thing that I can see
A tall figure coming towards me

I’m sorry man for the
Smell of fish
We are night grilling here out
on the beach
Then the Strandperle have a drink
You should join and grab a beer

I was walking out in Schanzestrasse
Time to eat and then grab a glass
But then I feel
Flash of pain flaring in my feet

Then I see
Three young fellas stand in front of me
One saying something I can’t get
Maybe asking for a cigarette

I’m sorry man if I
Stomped your feet
Trying to drag my drums
Across this street

We’re gonna play tonight at the Knust
You should come Hast du Lust ?
