You have to understand the way I am mein herr

A tiger is a tiger not a lamb mein herr

You'll never turn the vinegar to jam mein herr

So I do what I do

When I'm through then I'm through

And I'm through

Tootle-oo

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Farewell mein lieber herr

It was a fine affair but now it's over

And though I used to care I need the open air

You're better off without me mein herr

Don't dab your eye mein herr

Or wonder why mein herr

I always said that I was a rover

You musn't knit your brow

You should have known by now

You've every cause to doubt me mein herr

The continent of Europe is so wide mein herr

Not only up and down but side to side mein herr

I couldn't ever cross it if I tried mein herr

But I do what I can

Mile by mile

Step by step

Inch by inch

Man by man

Mein mein mein lieber herr

Farewell mein lieber herr

It was a fine affair but now it's over

And though I used to care

I need the open air

You're better off without me mein herr

Don't dab your eye mein herr

Or wonder why mein herr

I've always said that I was a rover

You musn't knit your brow

You should have known by now

You're better off without me

Mein herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr

Bye bye mein lieber herr
