The waltz is a thing between love and let die
The president spoke, shot and did lie
Some people said: he's only shy
But he can't do this every day
Hey take the waltz
Turn round and round
It takes you near heaven
The dead president's waltz
The waltz is a step between reason and rhyme
The president laughed, all would be fine
Some people said: he's playing for time
It doesn't matter anymore for him
One lolly more from the economy kings
For the sweet waltz of paralysed wing
He had to dance all days under age
But sometimes candies filled with rage
The poeple said: what's up with you
You're lookin' so bad, too much to do?
Come, we subscribe the petition of grarce
Before you had to lift your face
The story goes, here in Germany
A band abducted oer chancelli
Drowned him in an Altbierpool
Exchanged him with a disguised fool
Hey take the waltz
Turn round and round
It takes you near heaven
Shut up, life calls
Take the waltz
It takes you near heaven
The dead president's waltz
