1, 2, 3 - Na, was ist denn

Die Caballeros von Copacabana
die rannten ihr immerzu hinterher,
da lief sie weg und vor

dabei ertrank sie beinah noch
im Meer
8, 9, 10 - Na, was gab`s

Ja, in Venedig war grad
Biennale, ein Fotograf, der hielt sie fŸr `nen Star,
doch in der Zeitung war spŠter

CHORUS:
Und so zog sie den Bikini, den
sie nirgends tragen kann,
Ganz allein fŸr sich zuhause
in der Badewanne an!
