Nine the Musical - The Germans at the Spa Lyrics

MAMA MADDELENA
Clear the decks, be alert.

CHAMBERMAIDS
We'll clear the decks, we'll be alert.

MAMA MADDELENA
Fix your tie, fix your shirt.

CHAMBERMAIDS
We'll fix our tie and shirt.

MAMA MADDELENA
Be prepared to change a foreign coin.

CHAMBERMAIDS
Deutschmarks, Francs, Kroner, Pfennigs, Shillings.

MAMA MADDELENA
You all know what to do.

CHAMBERMAIDS
We all know what to do.

MAMA MADDELENA
They're on their
Way, you know who.

CHAMBERMAIDS
They're on their
Way, we know who

MAMA MADDELENA
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf, sechs,
Sieben, acht, neun.

CHAMBERMAIDS
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf, sechs,
Sieben, acht, neun.

The Germans at the spa, the Germans at the spa,
They'll soon be arriving here to spend
A lost weekend in Shangri-La.
The Germans at the spa descend from german mounts.
They've come to take the waters with
The daughters of Italian counts.

How we love to have the Germans at the spa.
Carefully avoiding and slight faux pas.
For the Germans at the spa, For the Germans
At the spa,
For the Germans alles must be perfect.

The Germans are coming,
The Germans are coming,
Roll out the wienerscnitz, roll out the wienerscnitz.
They'll soon be arriving, the spa will be thriving.
They'll come, they'll sit, they'll schvitz.
They'll come, they'll sit, they'll schvitz.

Be sure there's lots of German music playing.

Und was du tust in meinem brust,
O mein geliebter, o meine herz, alle
Geliebter, und so weiter.

MAMA MADDELENA
Go mow the lawns.

CHAMBERMAIDS
I'll mow the lawns.

MAMA MADDELENA
Go cool the beer.

CHAMBERMAIDS
I'll cool the beer.

MAMA MADDELENA
Go shell the prawns.                

CHAMBERMAIDS
I'll shell the prawns.

MAMA MADDELENA
I think they're here.

CHAMBERMAIDS
They're here.

GERMANS
Ve're here, ve're here,
The Germans at the spa, the Germans at the spa.
We just got in a minute ago, 'cause
Germany is filled with snow.
Together now hurrah for the Germans at the spa.

MAMA MADDELENA
Of anything the could have chosen,
Why do they wear lederhosen?

GERMANS
How ve love to spielen at our favorite spa,
Carefully avoiding all the French Bourgeois,
For the Germans at the spa, for the
Germans at the spa,
For the Germans alles must be German.

The Germans are laughing, ve're all photographing,
Ve click the hasselblad, ve click the hasselblad,
Und jetzt ve're unpacking. If nothing is
Lacking, Ve take a  promenade, ve take a promenade.

And vot's that lovely music I hear playing?
Und was do tust in meinem brust,
O mein geliebter, o meine herz, alle
Geliebter, und so weiter

GERMAN 1
Just vunce a year I can romance
Beneath the dance of an Italian
Apricot moon,

GERMAN 2
Und vunce a year I can be more than
Just another tycoon.
Too soon this all shall pass.

ITALIANS
The Germans at the spa
Are eating halevah
And closing a deal for oil with
A noted Middle Easter shah.

GERMANS
Ve excercise by day,
At night romantic play,
I'm dancing with Isolde.
When I hold 'er evrything's o.k.

ITALIANS
How we love to see the Germans at the spa.

GERMANS
How ve love to be the Germans at the spa.

ALL
For the Germans at the spa, for the
Germans at the spa,
For the Germans Italy is heaven.

GERMANS
(The Germans are coming etc.) Just vunce a year
We have the chance to find romance
Beneath the dance
Of an Italian apricot moon.
Und vunce a year ve can be absolutely free
As if ve're floating like a helium balloon.

ITALIANS
Be sure there's lots of German music playing,
How we love to have the Germans at the Spa!
