[Intro: Falco]
Mother? Oh, mother!
Mother? Oh, mother!
Mother? Oh, mother!
The man with coke! (Coke)
The man with coke! (Coke)
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
[Verse 1: Falco]
It was once called the black gold of the Ruhr
It provided warmth, comfort and energy
In a special chemical process
The gases volatilized from the original substance
Coal became coke
People longed for the energy that coke provided them with
But the material was too expensive for the people
[Bridge 1: Falco]
Mother? Oh, mother!
The man with the coke is here!
[Chorus: Humpe & Humpe]
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?
[Bridge 2: Falco]
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
[Verse 2: Falco]
The black gold has turned white
One takes a simple recipe
And coke becomes coal again
[Bridge 3: Falco]
Warmth, comfort, energy
Warmth, comfort, energy
Mother? Oh, mother!
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
[Chorus: Humpe & Humpe]
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?
I have no money and you have no money
Who ordered the man with the coke?
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
Mother, the man with the coke is here!
Yes, my boy, I know that!
