Mein Herr

You have to understand the way I am, mein herr

A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein herr

You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein herr

So I do what I do when I'm through, then I'm through

And I'm through, tootle-oo

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 said that 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

The continent of Europe is so wide, mein herr

Not only up and down, but side to side, mein herr

I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein herr

But I do what I can

Inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile

Man by man

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 said that 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

Bye bye, mein lieber herr

Auf wiedersehen, mein herr

Es war sehr gut, mein herr, und vorbei

Du kennst mich wohl, mein herr

Ach, lebe wohl, mein herr

Du sollst mich nie mehr sehen mein herr

Bye bye, mein lieber herr

(Auf wiedersehen

Es war sehr gut)

Und vorbei

Du kennst mich wohl, mein herr

(Du kennst mich wohl

Ach, lebe wohl

Du sollst mich nie mehr)

And bye bye

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

You'll get on without me

(Auf wiedersehen

Es war sehr gut

Du kennst mich wohl

Ach, lebe wohl

Du sollst mich nie mehr...

Bye bye, mein herr...)
