Luxembourg |
| Dressed up like a dog’s dinner |
| Butter wouldn’t melt on your paws |
| If this is a dog’s life then you’re the cat’s clothes |
| They hire out your sons and hire out your daughters |
| The man from abroad says he’s already bought her |
| And now you look like a lover but you’re only a tourist |
| You’re either talking or yawning |
| You didn’t listen to a thing you heard |
| Don’t start your morning moaning or you might wake up in Luxembourg |
| You get up, you get over |
| You’re worried by her body |
| She’s worrying about her bodily odor |
| You pull off the pull over |
| You say that you love her when you really loathe her |
| Serves you right now she wants you to feed her and clothe her |
| You’re either talking or yawning |
| You didn’t listen to a thing you heard |
| Don’t start your morning moaning or you might wake up in Luxembourg |
| Well they’re smiling sweetly while they’re looking daggers |
| Kick you where it really matters |
| Send all your friends to Coventry |
| And look for your name in last night’s obituaries |
| If you’ve got the Deutschmarks |
| If you’ve got the Yen, then |
| You get the shirt off her back and the clock off Big Ben |
| Somebody’s soft touch struck all these bargains |
| In the drinking clubs with the council men |
| Making plans to put lead back in their pencils again |
| You’re either talking or yawning |
| You didn’t listen to a thing you heard |
| Don’t start your morning moaning or you might wake up in Luxembourg |
| Well |
| Well well well |
| Well well well |
| Well well well |
| Ooh ooh |
| Well |
| I feel well in Luxembourg |
