Ich kauf’ mir lieber einen Tirolerhut [English translation]

A man came from Las Vegas

And offered me a thousand dollars

He said: "You are going to be a Big Star!"

But when I got there

It was all untrue

I'd prefer to buy myself a Tyrolean hat

That suits me so well

That suits me so well

Then on Sunday evening I'll play brass band music

Always the same song

In San Remo a rich woman

Made big eyes at me

And said to me "Dear Bill

I'll marry marry you

But you must do what I want"

I'd prefer to buy myself a Tyrolean hat

That suits me so well

That suits me so well

Then on Sunday evening I'll play brass band music

Always the same song

The I joined the military

Boy, that was a hard life

The Corporal said:

"If you get promoted

You can become a General"

I'd prefer to buy myself a Tyrolean hat

That suits me so well

That suits me so well

Then on Sunday evening I'll play brass band music

Always the same song
