(Karl Bazant / Arr. & Lyrics by Ko-Do 2011)
I was quite a dude, I was young, rough and rude
And at night I just painted the town
Ridin' high with my friends, hopin' it never ends
But comin' home I was wearin' a frown
Chorus
Mama, please open your window
It's just me, it's Johnny, your son
Please help me somehow to get indoor
I can't do it, my keys all are gone
I did what I had to do but now I miss the clue
It would've been a shame to go home
And Ma, please don't think of Dad, he was the same kind of mad
It's easy to ramble and roam
And when I married that girl I thought she was all my world
With nothing but love on my mind
It took time til I saw we both had that same flaw
We just weren't the marrying kind
Chorus
And some day I will be an old man, you'll see
And I can't feel no joy anymore
Then I'll find my way to the place where I'll stay
And afraid I shall knock on heaven's door
Chorus
(Karl Bazant / Arr.: Ko-Do)
I war no sehr jung und aa sunst no net g'scheit,
Aber auf d'Nacht war i alleweil aus
Mit Freunderl flanieren, da vergeht g'schwind die Zeit
Doch dann steh' i klaalaut vorm Haus
Refrain
Mama, geh bitte schau oba
I bin's, der Hannes, dei Bua
Wirf ma die Schlüssel do oba
Hüf ma, des Haustor is zua !
Spät is, i hätt' net solln tuan, wia die ander wolln
Z'hausgehn hab i mi halt geniert.
Mama, i war so blöd, kumm, sag's dem Vater net
Weil er mir sonst ane schmiert !
Ja, g'heirat is g'schwind, man glaubt, daß guat geht
Man hat ja nur des Beste im Sinn !
Aber später, da siehst, es geht eben net
Dann waaßt net, wo aus und wo hin
Refrain
Und bin i amol a staanalter Mann
Und g'freit mi die Welt nimmer recht
Dann geh i zum Himmelstor wahrscheinlich ganz bang
Weil i zu der Mama gehn möcht !
Refrain
