On my great Hungarian word of honor I swear I won't touch another beer Towing my accordion I quit the sanatorium I go into the himmel bar on the first corner I order a beer I say hello to Eva She's with two ugly men I get a very bad welcome back from them With my neighbor mister Shiesse And Eva who has come to be my wife We flee berlin and fly to Wisconsin Where Shiesse's nephew Clayton helps us forge a better life I become a car technician With Clayton at the engine No one speaks German But I'm pretty sure we can't afford This mobile home and color television Eva returns to prostitution And our house is sold at auction Then Shiesse goes to prison I steal a frozen chicken And a pick up truck and drive away That's the end
