Jump In The Mud (Hupf In Gatsch)
(Georg Danzer / T: Johannes Ko-Do Dittler 2024)

once i ate some cherries 
on my way home from the bar
so that my alcoholic flag
would not wave too far
and spitting out the fruit cores
i didn't care where they might fly
so one of them was landing
in some passerby's eye

i stammered my excuses
but it was clear to see
to accept it he refuses
and starts to yell at me
you motherfucking asshole
but i knew what to do
i spit out my last cherry
and said: here's one to you

jump in the mud
and make no wave
'cause it might disturb the brave
jump in the mud
try to be still
else you fall victim to a kill

i know losers like you ain't got no penny
and me, who has them all won't give you any
because pennies can't take your foolishness away
jump in the mud and stay


so it was late when i came home
my wife waiting in bed
was crying out in anger
how can one guy smell that bad
and how can one guy drink that much
now, won't you take a shower
where i translated hupf in gatsch
in the quarter of an hour

jump in the mud
and make no wave
'cause it might disturb the brave
jump in the mud
try to be still
else you fall victim to a kill

i know losers like you ain't got no penny
and me, who has them all won't give you any
because pennies can't take your foolishness away
jump in the mud 
and stay

i know losers like you ain't got no penny
and me, who has them all won't give you any
because pennies can't take your foolishness away
jump in the mud 
and stay

jump in the mud...
