Zwei drei vier, one two three, it's easy to see
But it's not that I don't care so
'Cause I hear it all the time
But they never let you know
On the T.V. and the radio

She was young her heart was pure
But every night is bright she got
She said, "Sugar is sweet"
She come rappin' to the beat
Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin', don't turn around, oh oh ?
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
You're in his eye and you'll know why
The more you live the faster you will die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

She said, "Babe you know, I miss Jill and Joe"
And all my funky friends
But my street understanding
Was just enough to know what she really meant

And I got to thinking while she was talking
That I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway

Singin', don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you and you don't know why
You say your life is gonna make you die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Well, we meet Jill and Joe and brother Herr
And the whole cool gang and oh
They're rappin' here, they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall

It's a clear case, Herr Kommissar
'Cause all the children know
They're all slidin' down into the valley
They're all slipping on the same snow

Hear the children, don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
He's got the power and you're so weak
And you're frustration will not let you speak

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you then you'll know why
The more you live, the faster you will die

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh

"Rock Me Amadeus" reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts, making him the only artist whose principal language was German to score a number-one hit in the United States.
