Thekenmädchen English translation
von Versengold

My father has given me many good pieces of advice
Like: My boy, never give up
Do a good deed every now and then
Trust yourself and create a home for yourself

Be kind to the ladies and don't catch anything
And party into the nites sometimes
Make mistakes as you wish and learn from them every day
But let me tell you one thing

Never, never, never, ever, ever
Fall in love with the girl behind the counter
Never, never, never, ever, ever
Fall in love with the girl behind the bar

No matter how beautiful she is, no matter how thirsty you are I
t's her job to like you
Even if she buys you a drink, she goes home alone
Boy, let me tell you
Never, ever, ever fall in love with the girl behind the bar


So spoke my father once, and yes, it became clear to me
When I went to my first pub
Saw the barmaid and smiled at the bar
Hanging on her lips and the tap

As she poured the beer from the tap into my cup
That was pure esthetics and I decided
Yes, nowhere in the world could it be more beautiful
And too late I realized

Never, never, never, ever, ever
Fall in love with the girl behind the counter
Never, never, never, ever, ever
Fall in love with the girl behind the bar

No matter how beautiful she is, no matter how thirsty you are
It's her job to like you
Even if she buys you a drink, she goes home alone
Boy, let me tell you
Never, ever, ever fall in love with the girl behind the bar

Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooh
Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooh
Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooh
Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooh


Yes, that has happened to me a thousand times since then
I got rejected and she took my money
And if I ever have a son, I should be a father myself
So I drill it into him

Never, never, never, ever, ever
Fall in love with the girl behind the counter
Never, never, never, ever, ever
Fall in love with the girl behind the bar

No matter how beautiful she is, no matter how thirsty you are
It's her job to like you
Even if she buys you a drink, she goes home alone
Boy, let me tell you
Never, ever, ever fall in love with the girl
Never, ever, ever fall in love with the girl behind the bar
