Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria [English translation]

At Uncle Pö's, a band of retirees

Has been playing Dixieland for twenty years now

They have a groupie, too

Her name is Rosa or something like that

And she's dancing on the table

Just like a go-go-go girl

And now there's Paula from St. Pauli1

Who takes off her clothes every time

And it's Lola's birthday

And they're raising their glasses, hoping

That one day she'll be as old

As she already looks

And anyway, everything's all right again

Aboard the Andrea Doria

And anyway, everything's all right again

Aboard the Andrea Doria

Gottfried is the name of the boy

Back there, at the piano

And for every ragtime he plays

He's given a schnapps and a beer

And some guy in the booth

Is shocking his girl

And Berni Flottman believes

That he's an astronaut

Now another one is coming over

From the booming discotheque

And I guess that our steam ship is about to sink

But everything else is all right today

Aboard the Andrea Doria

Andrea Doria...

At Uncle Pö's, a band of retirees

Has been playing Dixieland for twenty years now

They have a groupie, too

Her name is Rosa or something like that

And she's dancing on the table

Just like a go-go-go girl

Once more, it doesn't even really matter

And Leda is dreaming of a pelican

And either way, it's been far too late

And even the shrink has not idea how to carry on

But everything else is all right today

Aboard the Andrea Doria

Andrea Doria...
