Kaizers Orchestra - Ompa til du dør (English Translation) LyricsSven Korner was in the papers this Monday
Big photo from a time he danced waltz
Yes, he took the life of Victoria
Came home and explained to Christiania
"Come here, constable
Here's a thousand bucks I've saved
So give me Korner, and give me him with haste"
Sven Korner was in the papers this Monday
I've heard he's bought a Pekingese
He was interested in so many a thing
Yes, everything from Hell to Ten Sing
But you made it trivial for us
I'll have the last laugh, for Sven
I have your fingerprint
I know what's in store for you
I know what's in store for you
I know what you're hoping for
I know what's in store for you
You have a pipe you think we'll all follow
But I wouldn't follow that pipe under calamity
I'm playing poker with a revolver, with no respect for Fredrik Meltzer
Now you shall dance to our pipe until you bleed
Yes, you shall dance ompa 'til you
Shall dance ompa 'til you die
But think, Sven, how nice it will be in Heaven
I hope you clasp your hands before you go to bed
For it can get hot down there
It can get hot down there
Sven! It can get devilishly hot down there
You'll go down whether you like it or not
It's me who shall guide you there
If you think you can escape
Then think again, for God is my father
I know what's in store for you
I know what's in store for you
I know what you're hoping for
I know what's in store for you
You have a pipe you think we'll all follow
But I wouldn't follow that pipe under calamity
I'm playing poker with a revolver, with no respect for Fredrik Meltzer
Now you shall dance to our pipe until you bleed
Yes, you shall dance ompa 'til you
Shall dance ompa 'til you die
Think, Sven, how nice it will be in Heaven
Think, Sven, how nice it will be in Heaven
Think, Sven, how nice it will be in Heaven
Think, Sven, how nice it will be in Heaven
You have a pipe you think we'll all follow
But I wouldn't follow that pipe under calamity
I'm playing poker with a revolver, with no respect for Fredrik Meltzer
Now you shall dance to our pipe until you bleed
Yes, you shall dance ompa 'til you
Shall dance ompa 'til you die
