About Danke Schoen

"Danke Schoen" is a pop song of German origin. Bert Kaempfert, who composed the melody, recorded it as an instrumental, in 1959 and later in 1962, under the title "Candlelight Cafe". Kurt Schwabach wrote the German lyrics. The song gained international fame in 1963 when singer Wayne Newton recorded an American version, with English lyrics by Milt Gabler. The song achieved renewed popularity when it was featured in the 1986 American comedy film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, lip synced by the main character, Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick). The song was also featured in the E3 trailer for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. The song was featured in the 2013 film Grudge Match. more »

Danke schoen, darling, Danke schoen,
Thank you for all the joy and pain.
Picture shows, second balcony was the place we'd meet,
Second seat, go Dutch treat, you were sweet.
 
Danke schoen, darling, danke schoen,
Thank you for funny cards from Spain.
I recall Central Park in fall how you tore you dress,
What a mess, I confess that's not all.
 
Danke schoen, darling danke schoen, 
Thank you for walks down Lover's Lane.
I can see hearts carved on a tree 
Letters intertwined for all time.
Yours and mine, that was fine.
 
Danke schoen, darling danke schoen,
Thank you for seeing me again.
Tho' we go on our sep'rate ways 
Still the mem'ry stays for always.
