Pack die Badehose ein [English translation]

When you're sitting in school, sweating over your books

And the sun is shining, that's when you'd rather be outside

Once school's finally out, the children walk home merrily

And little Klaus calls out after little Hans:

Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand

And let's all go out to Wannsee1

We're cycling like the wind through Grunewald forest

And soon we're gonna reach Wannsee

Hey, we're frolicking like fish in the water, that's nice

And your little sister is the only one who doesn't dare go in

Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand

For we have to be home by eight

"Why don't we go to the movies and watch Tom Mix?"

Little Fritz is asking me, I replied "You must be joking!

Look at the skies above, blue as far as the eye can see

I'm going out to Wannsee and don't give a damn about Tom Mix"

Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand

And let's all go out to Wannsee

We're cycling like the wind through Grunewald forest

And soon we're gonna reach Wannsee

Hey, we're frolicking like fish in the water, that's nice

And your little sister is the only one who doesn't dare go in the water

Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand

For we have to be home by eight

Hey, we're frolicking like fish in the water, that's nice

And your little sister is the only one who doesn't dare go in the water

Pack your swimming trunks, take your little sister by the hand

For we have to be home by eight
