jane siberry – mein bitte lyrics
i want a good deal
better if it’s free
but i charge a lot
want more money
don’t want to work
just want more pay
cut corners here
make more that way
(meanwhile…)
i work in a large room
(i work in a room that’s large and bare)
i’m at this workbench every day
(i never miss a day)
i keep my tools very organized
(i have a special place
for all my tools)
this tinny radio is all i play
(i love music)
i’m working on this new invention
(and i’m really, really excited about it)
i think it needs something extra here
(in the evenings i read tool catalogues)
i’m studying the grain of my workbench
(i can fix anything you like)
i’m humming a tune while i wait
for the answer to appear
when i get stuck i go fishing
put in the clutch so to speak and glide
i coast among the rabble
and the right words
in my work i take great pride
(meanwhile)
i need more things
i need more money
don’t want to work
want things for free
cut corners here
make more that way
i have no pride
the world is unfair
wah…
my shop is a long meadow
in a winding landscape
in a series of elevations
with a few cows
and a babbling brook
i love to do what i love to do
this excludes anything i don’t like to do
the pleasure is in the peace of mind
the pleasure is mine
mein bitte…
mein bitte: to me it means “my pleasure/what makes one tick
