Oh Silvia I was dancing to Michael Jackson, oh Silvia When I heard your German accent, oh Silvia And I went down on my knees for her majesty Your royal highness Is that how you shall be adressed?

Oh Silvia I took my bike to the cemetery, oh Silvia And I claimed my territory, oh Silvia Smoked a cigarette, blew smoke rings in the face of d**h And this town will be cold when it gets hit by a comet By the harbor, we found a boat with your name written on it And I had blood in my mouth when I spit
