You have to understand the way I am, mein herr

A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein herr

You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein herr

So I do what I do

When I'm through, then I'm through. 

and I'm through.

Tootle-oo.

Bye bye mein lieber herr

farewell mein lieber herr

it was a fine affair, but now it's over

And though I used to care, I need the open air

you're better off without me mein herr.

don't dab your eye, mein herr

or wonder why, mein herr

I always said that I was a rover

You musn't knit your brow

you should have known by now

you've every cause to doubt me mein herr



The continent of Europe is so wide, mein herr.

Not only up and down, but side to side, mein herr.

I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein herr.

But I do what I can

inch by inch

step by step

mile by mile

man by man



Bye bye mein Herr.

Bye bye mein lieber Herr.

Auf wiedersehen, mein Herr.

Es war sehr gut, mein Herr, und vorbei.

Du kennst mich wohl, mein Herr.

Ach, lebe wohl, mein Herr.

Du sollst mich nie mehr sehen mein Herr.
