The German Lesson

lyrics

Roll yourself on back to sleep. No need to get up yet.
Have yourself another dream, and maybe I’ll forget
all the rotten words I said last night while trying to teach u German.
Told myself to play it cool. Lit up a cigarette.
Had myself another drink, stared blankly. I regret
all those tricks I pulled last night while finally teaching you some German

'Verzeihung' means 'I'm sorry dear'
Repeat it now so I can hear
That your speech is true and clear like mine
And how the phrase 'Forgive me please'
is best expressed while on one’s knees
saying 'Ja, ich bin ein fieses Schwein.'

Rambling on and on about never completing school
“College ain’t for everyone, too many laws and rules”
& how your Dad was stationed here
still pissed he never taught you German
Always interrupting me before I'm halfway through
Smug, entitled, self-obsessed. How am I stuck with you?
Take a seat back on the couch. Allow us to review our German.

I’ll teach you 'zahle mich zurück'
'Du bist ein respektloses Stück'
'Du machst aus mir einen unglücklichen Mann
Jetzt ist es die Abrechnungszeit
Ich mache alle Arbeit
Du bist voll von Bosheit und dann… and on… and on
