Every word that you said I believed
But in everything you said I was deceived
You played around, I really laughed, how could I pretend?
But where did all the laughing get me in the end?
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
I, man, am regal, a German am I
On this point we have always seen eye to eye
Your cutting aside
Is like a thorn in my side
And once again as you see like a fool I cry
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
This time you've really got to be joking! No!
Sexuality, it's a dirty game
When you're alone, you're free from the shame
You've got your revenge for when I played the knave
You were the master, I was the slave
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo - king!
You've gotta be jo- king!
