Huusmeister Kaczmarek [English translation]

Yes, when the elevator is stuck and the garbage can is burning

And the whole building has a blackout,

Is the john on the third floor clogged,

Everything is reported to me.

Also when water pipes are leaking,

They even wake me up at night because of that.

That's my job.

Dirt in the corner and a spot on the ceiling,

Are you crazy, the dirt belongs to whom? has to disappear!

Hey Kaczmarek - ok ok.

Hey Kaczmarek - Here I am.

Hey Kaczmarek - What's the matter?

Hey Kaczmarek - I'm coming.

Janitor - estate inspector,

Janitor - everything's under control,

Janitor - everything's in order

Janitor - with the toolbox.

Thick screws, thin screws,

Dowels to put into the wall,

Saw blades, angle irons,

Drill, grinder,

Little rolls for the curtainrail,

Ratchet box, brush tassel,

Everything is in the tool box.

There's always something to saw,

Something to drill or to mill,

To glue, to nail or to lay cable for the doorbell,

Amputate the roof antenna, install,

Controling of the electricity meter box

Hey Kaczmarek - What's going on?

Hey Kaczmarek - Have no time!

Hey Kaczmarek - Have to go!

Hey Kaczmarek - Tomorrow.

Janitor - estate inspector,

Janitor - everything's under control,

Janitor - everything's in order

Janitor - with the toolbox.

What a mess, who's cooking fish,

The house smells like a fish chippie,

Oh, Mrs. Kraus, you're doing fish today,

Well, ok, then I'll sit at table with you

And then I may even, when there's time,

Look after the bathtub in a wink, like always.

I do what I can, always stand my ground.

Janitor - estate inspector,

Janitor - everything's under control,

Janitor - everything's in order

Janitor - with the toolbox.

Don't we have a hammer, where is it?

Don't we have a hammer, well, then we take the pliers.

If we don't have a hammer and can't find the pliers,

Well, then we take the iron bar for the time being.

Hibbe di Hipp Hipp, de Hibbe di Hopp

Then we hit the nails on the head with the iron bar.

Hobbe di Hopp Hopp di Hobbe di Hipp

Thick screws, thinn screws, window putty
