You'll be surprised when I'm a retiree
As soon as the stress is over, then I'll really get going, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho

Then I'll casually blow-dry the hair that's left on my head
I'll suck in my belly and act like a 'hot guy', oh ho, oh ho, oh ho

And if people look at me with outrage and sternness
Then I'll say my dears, you're taking this too seriously

At sixty-six years old, that's when life begins
At sixty-six years old, that's when you start having fun
At sixty-six years old, that's when you really get going
At sixty-six, it's far from over

I'll buy a motorcycle and a leather outfit
And sweep through the area with a hundred and ten horsepower, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho

I'll sing songs in the city park that will amaze everyone
And play the guitar with a crazy sound, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho

And with the other buddies from the pensioners' club
I'll start a band and we'll jazz it up

At sixty-six years old (at sixty-six), that's when life begins
At sixty-six years old, that's when you start having fun (at sixty-six)
At sixty-six years old, that's when you really get going
At sixty-six, it's far from over
Far from over

And in the evening I'll go out with grandma
We're going to rock in a disco, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho

In the summer I'll tie flowers around my thinker's forehead
And hitchhike to San Francisco to cure my rheumatism, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho

And with great pride my grandson Waldemar announces
The crazy old man, that's my grandpa

At sixty-six years old (at sixty-six), that's when life begins
At sixty-six years old, that's when you start having fun (at sixty-six)
At sixty-six years old, that's when you really get going
At sixty-six, it's far from over
At sixty-six years old, that's when life begins
At sixty-six years old, that's when you start having fun
At sixty-six years old, that's when you really get going
At sixty-six years old, it's far from over
At sixty-six years old (at sixty-six), that's when life begins
At sixty-six years old, that's when you start having fun (at sixty-six)
At sixty-six years old, that's when you really get going
At sixty-six years old, it's far from over
