Nine o'clock in the morning
Up on the mountain side
Schattberg is covered with snow!
Gonna have a tough ride –
Saalbach looks so small –
But we are ready to go!
My skis are spitting fire
And I keep getting higher
As I am swinging
I am singing
High and low:
"Down the mountains
Down the mountains
Flying down the snow!"
This is the downhill World-Championship!
Slope is getting curvy –
Take that turn in style
Swing it, you're getteing loose knees!
Yout better wattch the ski-school
Or else you'll make a mess
And you'll end up on a tree!
My skis are spitting fire
And I keep getting higher
As I am swinging
I am singing
High and low:
"Down the mountains
Down the mountains
Flying down the snow!"
This is the downhill World-Championship!
Speeding down the shady side
Of the frozen slope
Get your feet in place and down it goes
Steep and bumpy, muggly slope
No big deal for me –
Icy chunks are flying round my nose!
My skis are spitting fire
And I keep getting higher
As I am swinging
I am singing
High and low:
"Down the mountains
Down the mountains
Flying down the snow!"
Heading for the finish line
Don't go on like mad
Or you end up in the pines!
We make the ride in record time
That really isn't bad –
We left at nine and now it's five to nine!
My skis are spitting fire
And I keep getting higher
As I am swinging
I am singing
High and low:
"Hauts eich oba
Hauts eich eini
Hauts eich ein in'n Schnee!
Hauts eich oba
Hauts eich eini
Hauts eich ein in'n Schnee!"
