you have to understand the way i am.

mein herr.

a tiger is a tiger

not a lamb.

mein herr.

you'll never turn vinegar into jam.

mein herr.

so i do.

what i do.

when i'm through.

then i'm through.

and i'm through.

toodle-loo.

bye bye mein lieber herr.

farewell mein lieber herr.

it was a fine affair but now it's over.

and though i used to care

i need the open air.

you're better off without me

Mein Herr.

don't dab your eye, mein herr

or wonder why, mein herr

i've always told you i was a rover.

you mustn't knit your brow

you should have known by now!

you'd every cause to doubt me

Mein Herr.
