Aber Bitte Mit Sahne

They meet daily at quarter past three oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
At the regulars' table in the corner of the pastry shop, oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
And blow the whistle to storm the cake buffet
On Black Forest cake and meringue
On fruit ice cream pineapple cherry and banana
But please with cream (but please with cream)

They chatter and smack their lips, then they go oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
More buttercream cake and bee sting (oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
They blow and puff, almost nothing goes in
Only a Mohrenkopf at most because order must be maintained
With Mathilde Ottilie Marie and Liliane
But please with cream (but please with cream)

And everyone probably guessed the end of the song oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
Death took turns picking them off there oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
The bereaved could not find words for the pain
With Sacher and Linzer and marzipan cake
Last but not least, Liliane remained faithful to the flag
But please with cream (but please with cream)

But even with Liliane it was finally over oh-ho-ho (oh, yeah)
She fell off her chair in the pastry shop, hm hm hm (oh, yeah)

Instead of wreaths, there were sugared cakes on the coffin
And the priest buried her with touching words
May the Lord pave her way to heaven
But please with cream (but please with cream)

Another cup of coffee (but with cream, please)
Another little meringue (but with cream, please)
Or maybe you'd like a biscuit (but with cream, please)
