• Maskenball Der Tiere (Götter der Pest OST)

All creatures, great and small,
gathered for a grand masked ball

The turtle from a turtle race
played trumpet at a hurtling pace

The chameleon, chameleon
puffed on a bulky bombardon

And all the lice, the little lice,
they made a noise that wasn't nice

The bumblebees, the bumblebees
banged on bombastic tympanies

The eel, the eel
performed a slithering reel

The leopard, with a spotted scarf
was waiting for his better half

The flamingo, the flamingo
was looking for some place to go

The mule, the stubborn mule
was sprawling in a vast fauteuil

The water's mirror showed the swan
that he was looking rather wan

And the hippo, hippopotamus
behaved badly like a lot of us

The pig, who wasn't very fine

Do you want some ravioli?

The buffalo, the buffalo
bawls to the goose a gruff "Hello!"

While the spotted salamander
slides down to the veranda

The fly, the fly
stands outside in the pantry

A parrot who could count to three
squawked "Pretty Polly" constantly

The storks, the storks
were camouflaged as hawks

The wolves, a pack of twelve,
had sheepishly disguised themselves

The bugs, even the little bug,
began to dance a jitterbug

And when it danced, the eagle
did something very regal

The fleas, the fleas
hopped in the air with ease

Then suddenly the hall was still
They all sat down to eat their fill

The raven and the stark
ate soup with just a fork

The giraffe', the giraffe'
ate chocolate wafers with cafe'

- Like a schnapps?
- Yes.

And the serpent', for a change,
tried to eat a blood orange

The lizard, oh, the lizard
had pork crackling in its gizzard

The gnu, the gnu
had eaten quite enough, he knew

The aurochs, who was soon replete,
asked who would like the rest to eat

The dromedary chewed at length
on caviar to give him strength

The snipe was but a snipe
though clearly not a guttersnipe

The llama, the llama
finished off with a banana

That this was just a nonsense song,
was something we knew all along
