Come closer, Peter!
Peter: Mmh yeah, der Westen
Schmeckt nach Gold, süße!
Come here, come, come here, Peter
Listen, you're my husband now, Peter
I know you don't love me, we have to do this!

Today's my wedding everybody's coming
They can't wait to celebrate
All my uncles, aunts and cousins
Even the neighbours came to say
"We're so happy that you marry
It was time 'cos soon it's too late
You're getting older you know we've told ya
You should have a baby
Before it's too late!"

Oh, leave me alone
I'm so glad I can leave home!

Oh, Peter, will you marry me?
Carry me away from this family
It's killing me, can't stay another day
Peter, will you marry me? Carry me away
We can leave this place
You don't have to stay
We can go our separate ways!

Das ist der Deal, du brauchst 'n Ehemann
Ich brauch 'ne Frau
Die gut kochen und nähen kann
Du lebst im Bauernhaus, Kuhstall nebenan
Ich hol dich raus
Du fängst 'n neues Leben an
Aus dem Wollrock ins Negligé
Ich schick dich jeden Tag
Shoppen im Kudamm Quarree
Dein Vater kriegt 'n Second Hand Golf Coupé
Bei der Hochzeit grinst er
Unter sei'm neuen Toupé
Wir feiern mit Fleisch und Selbstgebranntem
Und ich mache auf reich
Vor all deinen Verwandten
Und die Onkels und Tanten sind
Am saufen und zanken
Und die Dorfmusikanten spielen auf
Und wir tanzen
Yeah, Schnapsleichen liegen auf dem Rasen
Und die Blaskapelle ist zu blau zum Blasen
Man soll immer geh'n, wenn's am Besten ist
Mädchen, ich zeig dir wo
Der goldene Westen ist!

Oh, let's get it on
I'm so glad I can leave home!

Everyone's sipping too much, some are puking
Even the ladies are drunk, they are singing
The men are starting to
Fight or other dancing
How we gonna get to the night
Just keep on drinking the people say
"We're so happy that you marry
It was time 'cos soon it's too late
You're getting older you know we've told ya
You should have a baby
Before it's too late!"

Oh, leave me alone
I'm so glad I can leave home!

Come and marry me, carry me away
From this family, it's killing me
I can't stay another day
Oh, Peter, will you come and marry me
Carry me away, we can leave this place
You don't have to stay
We can go our separate ways!
