Ludwig Songtext

von Amon Düül II

A peculiar kind of bathing took place yesterday
King Ludwig was to meet the Doc on Starnbergsee
The Doctor's will is the monarchists' politicians'
Was he bad, asks Sissi the snake
I was not mad, says Ludwig the fake
Castles were built of marble and gold
The king's left alone, suddicts were sold
Our king ahs lost his grip and his virility
He drowned himself at dawn the waves wept jewellery
He wasn't yet dead when Wagner wrote the requiem
Was he bad, asks Sissi the snake
I was not mad, says Ludwig the fake
Castles were built of marble and gold
The king's left alone, suddicts were sold
Is he dead? the chancellor raves
What a drag! Bavaria's pride
Was it a bet? the court is amazed
Was he a fag? he ran out of sand
