I got up this morning, felt so bad
It's weird to really feel out of wack
I got the urge to call home and I
Go to the hook and pick up the phone, sayin'
"Just wanted to say 'hi' to all my friends
Calling West-Berlin, where all those roads lead to an end
Germany, am I getting through?
Something's up I need to talk to you!"

Hallo Deutschland, hört ihr mich?
Via Satelliten, hört ihr mich?
Hallo, hallo Deutschland, hört ihr mich?
Ist da jemand oder täusch' ich mich?

A cup of coffee, cigarette, bathin' time
And I'm still hanging on that line
Ringin' up that girl can't be too soon, sayin'
„Hey, hey, wake up, darling, it's afternoon!"
Got still no answer, no reply
Gotta give it one last try
Operator, I count on you
"Overseas operator, may I help you?"
"You're the one to put me through!"

Hallo Deutschland, hört ihr mich?
Via Satelliten, hört ihr mich?
Hallo, hallo Deutschland, hört ihr mich?
Ist da jemand oder täusch' ich mich?

Ah, na na na na na na na
Let me know, let me know
Na na na na na na na
Ah, na na na na na na na
Let me know, let me know
Na na na na na na na

"I'm really very sorry, sir, but the line is disconnected
Uhm, I'm not receiving any type of response
But I'm sure there's a very logical explanation for this temporary breakdown, sir
Please, sir, there's nothing to be upset about
It just could be a malfunction with our satellite connection
If you wait just a moment, I'll connect you with my supervisor
I'm very sure that he has a very logical explanation for this temporary breakdown, sir
If you hold on just a moment, sir
I'll connect you with my supervisor and I'm sure he can explain this for you
I'm, I'm really very sorry, sir, but no one's there"
