Two, three, four
Eins, zwei drei
Na, es is nix dabei
Na, wenn ich Euch erzähl' die G'schicht'
Nichts desto trotz
Ich bin es schon gewohnt
I'm TV-Funk da läuft es nicht
Ja, sie war jung,
Das Herz so rein und weiß
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis
Sie sagt: "Sugar Sweet
Ja' got me rapp'in to the heat!"
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiß,
Sie sagt:"Baby, look,
I miss my funky friends,"
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill
Mein Funkverständnis
Ja, das reicht zur Not
Ich überreiss', was sie jetzt will
Ich überleg' bei mir
Ihr' Nas'n spricht dafür
Währenddessen ich noch rauch'
Die Special Places sind ihr wohlbekannt
Ich mein', sie fährt ja you-Bahn auch
Dort singen's:
"Drah' Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er wird dich anschau'n
Und du weißt warum
Die Lebenslust bringt dich um"
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Hey man, want to buy some stuff, man?
Did you ever rap that thing Jack?
So rap it to the beat!
Wir treffen Jill and Joe
Und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen's ab die Wänd'. -
Dieser Fall ist klar,
Lieber Herr Kommissar,
Auch wenn sie and'rer Meinung sind:
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle
Talwärts fahr'n
Kennt heute jedes Kind
Jetzt das Kinderlied:
"Drah Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns Stumm"

"Drah Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Wenn er dich anspricht
Und du weißt warum,
Sag eahm
Dein Leb'n bringt dich um

Alles klar Herr Kommissar

"Drah Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns Stumm"

"Drah Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Wenn er dich anspricht
Und do weißt warum,
Sag eahm
Dein Leb'n bringt dich um
"Drah Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
"Drah Di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
