I'm coming home, my shoes are dirty
Shake them out over the good carpet
(La la la) You don't do that
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-you don't do that
The fingers are deep in the nose
I get them out again
But how, is the question
(La la la) You don't do that
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-you don't do that
I want to tastefully discover the world
And lick the five-cent piece with my tongue
(La la la) You don't do that
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-you don't do that
I do what you don't do
But in the chorus it is then said

There are so many things you don't do
And whoever does them is quite daring
From Flensburg via Munich to Budapest
You risk house arrest with that

What were you thinking?
Oh man, I can't believe it
Who taught you that again?
You don't do that

I get a gift that I don't want
And throw it directly into the trash
(La la la) You don't do that
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-you don't do that
Helping around the house, thank you very much
I think I'd rather get sick
(La la la) You don't do that
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-you don't do that
Your friends are playing their hit
But I don't jump around and I don't sing along
(La la la) You don't do that
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-you don't do that
Noise pollution is basically not cool
But I like the sound and wiggle around on my chair

There are so many things you don't do
And whoever does them is quite daring
From Flensburg via Munich to Budapest
You risk house arrest with that

There are so many little weaknesses
Like interrupting the one who is speaking again and again
On the street and outside in the garden
Shouting loudly and scaring away the pigeons
Or belching in the middle of the elevator
And looking horrified at the neighbor
All this you don't do
Hey, you don't laugh about that

There are so many things you don't do
And whoever does them is quite daring
From Flensburg via Munich to Budapest
You risk house arrest with that

What were you thinking?
Oh man, I can't believe it
Who taught you that again?
You don't do that
