Nine The Germans At The Spa Lyrics

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Clear the decks,
Be alert.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
We'll clear the
Decks, we'll be
Alert.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Fix your tie, fix
Your shirt.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
We'll fix our tie
And shirt.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Be prepared to
Change a foreign
Coin.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
Deutschmarks,
Francs, Kroner,
Pfennigs,
Shillings.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
You all know what
To do.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
We all know what
To do.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
They're on their
Way, you know
Who.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
They're on their
Way, we know
Who

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Eins, zwei, drei,
Vier, funf, sechs,
Sieben, acht, neun.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
Eins, zwei, drei,
Vier, funf, sechs,
Sieben, acht, neun.

The Germans at the spa, the Germans at
The spa,
They'll soon be arriving here to spend
A lost weekend in Shangri-La.
The Germans at the spa descend from
German mounts.
They've come to take the waters with
The daughters of Italian counts.

How we love to have the Germans at
The spa.
Carefully avoiding and slight faux pas.
For the Germans at the spa, For the Germans
At the spa,
For the Germans alles must be perfect.

The Germans are coming, The Germans
Are coming,
Roll out the wienerscnitz, roll out
The wienerscnitz.
They'll soon be arriving, the spa will
Be thriving.
They'll come, they'll sit, they'll
Schvitz.
They'll come, they'll sit, they'll
Schvitz.

Be sure there's lots of German music
Playing.

Und was du tust in meinem brust,
O mein geliebter, o meine herz, alle
Geliebter, und so weiter.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Go mow the lawns.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
I'll mow the
Lawns.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Go cool the beer.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
I'll cool the beer.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Go shell the
Prawns.

[CHAMBERMAIDS]
I'll shell the
Prawns.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
I think they're
Here. [CHAMBERMAIDS]
They're here.

[GERMANS]
Ve're here, ve're here,
The Germans at the spa, the Germans at
The spa.
We just got in a minute ago, 'cause
Germany is filled with snow.
Together now hurrah for the Germans
At the spa.

[MAMA MADDELENA]
Of anything the could have chosen,
Why do they wear lederhosen?

[GERMANS]
How ve love to spielen at our favorite
Spa,
Carefully avoiding all the French
Bourgeois,
For the Germans at the spa, for the
Germans at the spa,
For the Germans alles must be German.

The Germans are laughing, ve're all
Photographing,
Ve click the hasselblad, ve click the
Hasselblad,
Und jetzt ve're unpacking. If nothing is
Lacking, Ve take a promenade, ve take a
Promenade.

And vot's that lovely music I hear
Playing?
Und was do tust in meinem brust,
O mein geliebter, o meine herz, alle
Geliebter, und so weiter

[GERMAN 1]
Just vunce a year I can romance
Beneath the dance of an Italian
Apricot moon,

[GERMAN 2]
Und vunce a year I can be more than
Just another tycoon.
Too soon this all shall pass.

[ITALIANS]
The Germans at the spa
Are eating halevah
And closing a deal for oil with
A noted Middle Easter shah.

[GERMANS]
Ve excercise by day,
At night romantic play,
I'm dancing with Isolde. When I
Hold 'er evrything's o.k.

[ITALIANS]
How we love to see the Germans at the
Spa.

[GERMANS]
How ve love to be the Germans at the
Spa.

[ALL]
For the Germans at the spa, for the
Germans at the spa,
For the Germans Italy is heaven.

[GERMANS]
(The Germans are coming etc.) Just vunce
A year
We have the chance to find romance
Beneath the dance
Of an Italian apricot moon.
Und vunce a year ve can be absolutely
Free
As if ve're floating like a helium
Balloon.

[ITALIANS]
Be sure there's lots of German music
Playing,
How we love to have the Germans at
The Spa!
