Il testo della Mein bitte

I want a good deal, better if it's free
But i charge a lot, want more money
Don't want to work, just want more pay
Cut corners here, make more that way

Meanwhile, i work in a large room
I work in a room that's large and bare
I'm at this work bench every day

I never miss a day, i keep my tools very organized
I have a special place for all my tools
This tinny radio is all i play, i love music

I'm working on this new invention
And i'm really, really excited about it
I think, it needs something extra here
In the evenings, i read tool catalogues

I'm studying the grain of my work bench
I can fix anything you like i'm humming a tune
While i wait for the answer to appear

When i get stuck, i go fishing
Put in the clutch so to speak and glide
I coast among the rabble and the right words
In my work, i take great pride

Meanwhile, i need more things, i need more money
Don't want to work, want things for free
Cut corners here, make more that way
I have no pride, the world is unfair

My shop is a long meadow in a winding landscape
In a series of elevations with a few cows and a babbling brook

I love to do what i love to do
This excludes anything i don't like to do
The pleasure is in the peace of mind
The pleasure is mine, mein bitte
