 Struggling with Quark? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Seitdem ich dich kenne, hab ich ein Problem
Du gehst mir auf die Nerven, Baby, und zwar extrem
Du redest ohne Punkt und Komma und rund um die Uhr
Du holst noch nicht mal Luft dabei, wie machst du das nur?

Gib mir bitte eine Chance, geh doch wenigstens mal raus
Ständig dies Gequatsche, das hält doch keiner aus!
Ein Wasserfall ist harmlos gegen dich
Ich kann noch nicht mal weg-hören, es ist fürchterlich

Du redest Quark den ganzen Tag

Keiner kommt uns mehr besuchen, du hast sie zu sehr gequält
Du hast mir dein ganzes Leben schon 10.000 Mal erzählt
Du redest ohne Pause, du redest laut und schnell
Dass deine Stimmbänder nicht reißen, ist echt sensationell

Gib mir bitte eine Chance, halt doch bitte mal den Mund
Ich werde langsam taub und meine Ohren sind schon wund
Ich wollt dich exorzieren, doch ich kam ja nicht zu Wort
Was bleibt mir jetzt noch übrig Harakiri oder Mord?

Du redest Quark den ganzen Tag
Du redest Quark den ganzen Tag

Bla, bla, bla, bla
bla, bla, bla 

Du redest Quark sogar im Sarg
Du redest Quark den ganzen Tag
Du redest Quark (Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla)
Du redest Quark, du redest Quark
Du redest Quark

Und du redest, und du redest Quark
