Key words: German Rock, Singer&Song Writer, Accoustic Guitar for Virtuosi
NOTE:      Lyrics translated into English (roughly) by RG

I. Preliminaries

A. INTRO by Klaus "Major" Heuser(BAP) 

VIRTOUSI: It's really most pretentious and worth playing even if you don't 
know the song and are not into krautrock... (The corresponding chords are my 
own interpretation which is a kind of hobby of mine  - RG)

II. The original song

After the INTRO the song starts like this (lyrics are Cologne German,
an English translation is provided at the bottom! - RG):
 
  1.                                                        * Hochdeutsch:

4.
  Jupp verzllt vom Joldrausch
  un, wie h Twist jedanz htt met 'ner Cobra
  Vun 'nem karrierten Zebra,

      "Wo litt(*) denn Stalingraad? En welchem Land ess dat?"      * liegt
      Stalingraad pack h nie, irgendwie.

III. Now the English interpretation, quite crude, I must admit. As for its
     contents: it's not meant to be politically, but just a plain story about
     an old tramp from Cologne creating his own, probably past in order to 
     dispace bad remembrances (check it out):

 1.
D                                                           # ANNOTATIONS
  Ahn der Vringspooz(*) triffsten                           * Am Severinstor
 You meet him at Severin's Gate(#)                         # Sight in Cologne

d7/5+                        C7              d 
  met singe(*) Kumpels un d Mammutflsch Lambrusco         * seinen
 with his fellows and a giant bottle of Lambrusco(#)       # cheap red wine

D
  Op d Plastiktt
 The plastic bag

d7/5+                C7             d
  met singe paar Klamotte steiht: Eduscho
 containing his few stuff reads: Edusho (#)                # Coffee Corp.(tm)

     F                             C
      jo, d Jupp trick jraad sing Sejel huh(*)            * zieht gerade  \
     yeah, ole Yupp's about to set his sail                \sein Segel hoch\   

            Bb                           bb                 
      un h nemp(*) dich met, jedenfalls meint er et       * und er nimmt...
     and you're taken along - so he thinks, anyway 
 
                F               C
      un h verzllt sich fruh(*).                         * erzhlt sich froh    
     and tells glad himself(#)                            # makes himself happy
                                                             by telling stories  

2.
  Om Projamm(*) steiht Weltreis.                           * auf dem Programm
 The programme reads "globe trip"

  Wie jeden Daach verzllte(*), wat ihm wo passiert ess    * Tag erzhlt er
 As all days he's recalling what he's seen everywhere

  Kokosnss un Packeis...
 coconuts and pack-ice...

  und wie h vver(*) den quator balanciert ess           * er ber
 And like he balanced accros the equator

      un vverhaup, die dausend Fraue, die h kannt
     and, by the way, thousand girls were his

      un die Messerstecherei, sick(*) der d Duhme fhlt,  * seit
     and then the knifling which made him loose        

      ahn singer rchte Hand.
     his right hand's thumb.      

3.
  Un eez en(*) Katmandu,                                   * Und erst in
 And then in Katmandu where

     and then the mad times as Robinson

      en singer eijene(*) Welt, janz op sich self jestellt * seiner eigenen
     in his own world set, totally alone

      oh Mann, wer kann dat schon?
     oh man, who would be able to?
      

4.
  Jupp verzllt vom Joldrausch
 Yupp tells about the gold rush

  un, wie h Twist jedanz htt met 'ner Cobra

  Vun 'nem karrierten Zebra,
 About a checked zebra, and

     About Stalingrad(#) he doesn't tell                  # Russia, site of a
                                                         major defeat of German

      "Wo litt(*) denn Stalingraad? En welchem Land ess dat?"      * liegt
     "where's Stalingrad? What country's that?"

      Stalingraad pack h nie, irgendwie.
     Stalingrad he'll never cope, somehow...


(followed by Electric Guitar Solo.)

I hope there is some positive resonance for this song. If you have ideas of
how to create a more apt English translation (I'm not a native Engish speaker)
you are welcome.
