lyrics

TINTENLUMPENHAND

Tintenlumpen kleine Porzellanhand
I missed you very much
while I was traveling far far away
ich bin gerne zu Hause
und schau was in meinem Regal ist
da ist eine Tintenlumpenhand
waiting for me waiting
as only porcelain knows how to be patient

danke schön Tintenlumpenhand
thank you very much ich gebe dir die Hand
und einen Knicks you can save your tricks
for me when I'm home alone

a writer needs a Tintenlumpen
aus feinstem Filz gemacht
meine Mutter weiss was eine Schriftstellerin braucht
denn wir werden uns nicht lumpen
so I put on my fancy shoes
and all my special moves
denn ich komme aus gutem Haus
wo mann einen Tintenlumpen braucht

danke schön Tintenlumpenhand
thank you very much ich gebe dir die Hand
und einen Knicks you can save your tricks
for me when I'm home alone

one day I will grow up and write with pen and ink
and I will need a Tintenlumpen um alles
was daneben ging schnell aufzusaugen
so my writing will be pretty even if I have little or nothing to say
I wont make a mess sauber sauber fein und schnell
what the hell
I always wanted to be a lady
and it's just been lately that I'm old enough
für einen kleinen Hund und einen Palast

danke schön Tintenlumpenhand
thank you very much ich gebe dir die Hand
und einen Knicks you can save your tricks
for me when I'm home alone

I'm home alone, I'm home alone
wishing I had smart things to say
so my Tintenlumpen could Tintenlumpen away

She takes this very seriously, as she takes the band very seriously and of course the poem, that is Gertrude Stein very seriously. ... more
