The unsinkable Titanic
Ey
Oh
Alright
Oh

Sieht man um sich, was passiert
Wohin es geht oder auch nicht
Hilft nur eines
Schampus, Kaviar, Noblesse im Gesicht
Let's deca-dance in jedem Fall
Die Smokingträger überall
Denn nobel geht die Welt zugrund'
Ob dieser oder jener Stund
Nobility for you and me

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber fesch
Mit all den Millionen Cash
Und all der teuren Wäsch'
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber gut
Denn wer sich retten tut
Der hat zum Untergang kan Mut
Decadence for you and me, decadence
Decadence

In jedem Fall entscheid' ich mich
Na, egal ob nobel oder nicht
Na, besser neureich sein als nie reich sein
Und in Gesellschaft nicht allein
Let's decadance at all events
Im Walzerschritt zum letzten Tritt
Denn wer den Walzer richtig tritt
Na, der ist auch für den Abgang fit
Nobility for you and me

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber fesch
Mit all den Millionen Cash
Und all der teuren Wäsch'
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber gut
Denn wer sich retten tut
Der hat zum Untergang kan Mut
Decadence for you and me, decadence
Decadence

Free flow!
Free flow!

The unsinkable Titanic

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber fesch
Mit all den Millionen Cash
Und all der teuren Wäsch'
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Aber gut
Denn wer sich retten tut
Der hat zum Untergang kan Mut
Decadence for you and me, decadence

Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Let's decadence
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Die Titanic sinkt in Panik
Ganz allanig
Let's decadence
