Jakey's Gone to Germany Lyrics

Stepping off into old Berlin
Rattlin' gypsies and mickey finns
Loading up with junk and gin
For all the world to see
In the slums on the Kreuzberg side
I shall start my final ride
Hello hello
My friends
I'm away again
Jakey's gone to Germany

At 195
Thanking Christ for to be alive
Sweet Stephanie by my side
We make for the Baltic Sea
Where Thuringen softly cries
Brings a teardrop to me eye
Hello hello
My friends
I'm away again
Jakey's gone to Germany

Green fairies and too much meat
On the way up through Jena's streets
Reich pours me my liquid heat
So long, Sobriety
Continental philosophy
For the glass in front of me
Hello hello
My friends
I'm away again
Jakey's gone to Germany
Leeson tells me so I don't miss
Fair colonia's kolsch is bliss
At the dom for a final p***
And sleeping beneath the trees
With history flying in the wind
Here my future shall begin
Hello hello
My friends
I'm away again
Jakey's gone to Germany
Now the darkness starts to fade
O'er the Rhineland's glades
I wake softly in the shade
And Glasgow's but a memory
And when I'm sober, no longer to roam
I'll get p***** on the plane ride home
Hello hello
My friends
I'm away again
Jakey's gone to Germany
Jakey's gone to Germany
How 'bout the price of a pint for me?
