Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood,
I go straight away to Hollywood
Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona,
I go straight away to Barcelona
Berlin, Berlin, Berlin,
It’s time to party in Berlin.
But I am sitting lonely in my room,
The sun is going down
I am the laziest tramp around
Lovely roses, roses wither and roses die
Rosy petals flying in the sky

The trash man takes the trash across the yard
And then the doorbell rings
Adverts! Adverts! A cop car screams
For the fifteenth time yet this morning 
I pour myself a cup of coffee
And open up a newspaper
Oh, a flight to New York for 40 Euros!
Another sleazy caper
Hawaii, Tokyo, Lisbon and Madrid
All places I can brag I did

Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood,
I go straight away to Hollywood
Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona,
I go straight away to Barcelona
Berlin, Berlin, Berlin,
It’s time to party in Berlin.
But I am sitting lonely in my room,
The sun is going down
Ich bin die faulste Schlampe weltweit,
Rosen duften, Rosen welken
Rosen sterben, Rosenblätter fliegen im Wind

The bank statement says nothing good,
I simply spend more than I should
So I’ll lean back in my deck chair,
A warm breeze rustles through my hair 
My mobile’s blaring once again,
I’ve got a billion online friends
Everybody’s singing my praises
Yes, it’s party time!

On the internet a lover writes,
Wondering if we’ll meet tonight?
It was so hot the last few times,
When we #!*+ like filthy swine
Meet me at the Biergarten on Weserstraße, What a zoo! 
Oh god, that reminds me,
I must cancel my date
With I’m not telling who…

Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood,
I go straight away to Hollywood
Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona,
I go straight away to Barcelona
Berlin, Berlin, Berlin,
It’s time to party in Berlin
But I am sitting lonely in my room,
The sun is going down
Ich bin die faulste Schlampe weltweit,
Rosen duften, Rosen welken
Rosen sterben, Rosenblätter fliegen im Wind
