X2 Verse: Think you are a rich man? You’re just an everyman Have trust in army and power? Hear Satan’s demonic laugh Always brush your teeth well? How nice they’ll grin in your skull Your skin is full of expensive ointments? It will taste very good to the worms Chorus Final chorus: Forget the worm Forget the tomb F*** and devour And laugh and sing Then the Devil will go back to Hell. X2 Outro: If you want a long life, laugh at death. ------ German lyrics: Verse: Totenköpfchen, Totenköpfchen Wackel mit den Beinen Lass die Sonne, lass den Mond Durch die Rippen scheinen Teufel kegelt Köpfchen rollt Wenn der Teufel Dein Seelchen holt Mitternacht Würmchen lacht Hat ein Festmahl Mitgebracht. Chorus: Vergiss den Wurm Vergiss den Sarg Sing und iss Und trink und lach Dann fährt der Teufel zur Hölle ab. X2 Verse: Glaubst du bist Ein reicher Mann Bist doch nur Wie Jedermann Hast vertraut auf Heer und Macht Hör wie Satan Teuflisch lacht. Zähnchen immer Gut gebürstet Blecken dich jetzt Grinsend an. Deine Haut Voll teuerer Salben Wird den Würmchen Sehr gut schmecken. Chorus: Vergiss den Wurm Vergiss den Sarg Fick und friss Und trink und lach Dann fährt der Teufel zur Hölle ab. X2 Willst du lange Leben, lach über den Tod.
