Ich glaub', 'ne Dame werd' ich nie [English translation]

I'm too hungry to go on a diet

I hardly ever arrive too late at the theatre

I always speak my mind - and therefore you can tell:

I guess I'll never be a lady

At parties I almost always fall asleep right away

I know all beers and never a wine

I've got an antipathy against playboys

I guess I'll never be a lady

I never ask myself what'll happen the day after

I'm just like the wind - come what may

I don't expect anything from life and I live freely

I guess I'll never be a lady

I despise lobster and oysters

I'd rather have hamburgers at home

I hate chinchillas and I love kitsch

I guess I'll never be a lady

If there's a reason to laugh, I'm in

If I feel like crying, well, I just do it

I'm not diplomatic enough for lying

I guess I'll never be a lady

I never ask myself what'll happen the day after

I'm just like the wind - come what may

I won't be a Gretchen1 and I won't be a vamp

Have never been a lady, will never be a lady

That's why the lady is a tramp!
