Hello, Vienna calling
Hello, hello, Vienna calling
Talking about

Stella sitzt in Rio - Stella liegt in Tokyo
Männer fragen sie nach Feuer, nach dem andern sowieso
Sugar Chris dich sehr vermisst - dein Bein und dein Gesicht
Du kannst auf mich verzichten-nur auf Luxus nicht
Womit spielen klein Mädchen heute, hier und dort und da,
Und in Tucson, Arizona, Toronto, Canada

Wien, nur Wien du kennst mich up, kennst mich down
Du kennst mich
Nur Wien, nur Wien, du nur allein
Wohin sind deine Frau'n

Ohoho, operator (so alone am I)
Ohoho, operator (need you to) come tonight

Hello, Vienna calling
Hello, hello, Vienna calling
Vienna calling
Two, one, zero - Der Alarm ist rot
Wien in Not - Cha, Cha, Cha
Vienna calling, Vienna calling

Und plötzlich heißt Maria Marilyn
Und Eva heißt Yvonne
Ein junger Bogart hängt dir an den Lippen, 
Kleines, und sagt komm
Die Lockenpracht wird komm abgemacht
Die Tänzer sind gestoppt
Es ist 4 Uhr 45, nun wird Position geprobt
Womit spielen kleine Mädchen heute, hier und dort und da
Ob in Tucson, Arizona; Toronto, Canada

Wien, nur Wien du kennst mich up, kennst mich down
Du kennst mich
Nur Wien, nur Wien, du nur allein
Wohin sind deine Frau'n

Ohoho, operator (so alone am I)
Ohoho, operator (need you to) come tonight

Hello, Vienna calling
Hello, hello, Vienna calling
Vienna calling
Two, one, zero - Der Alarm ist rot
Wien in Not - Cha, Cha, Cha
Vienna calling, Vienna calling
