  • So sick of doing the whole 9 to 5
    I pay my dues, I'm just stayin' alive
    And I'm so bored of it, bored of it
    Oh, what's the point of it, point of it?

    A paracetamol to quench the pain
    The office cubicle has trapped me again
    Am I a mouse in a cage, am I
    D-d-d-demotivational?

    Ah, if only there was a language that I can count in
    That would make me feel better (oh ja)

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Darlin', I need something salty
    Eins, zwei, drei
    With a slice of pepperoni
    I'll pay, you can owe me
    That'll be a pony
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm comin' back to life

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Got me feeling okey-dokey
    Eins, zwei, drei
    Goodbye drudgery, hello me
    So light you can throw me
    Kill at karaoke
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm coming back to life

    Countin' in English doesn't cut the mustard
    So sick of munching roly-poly with custard
    I'm so bored with it, bored with it
    Oh, what's the point of it, point of it? (oh ja, ja, ja)

    I've always been a fan of aviation
    I'm jumpin' on a plane to another nation
    All my pounds, they feel counterfeit
    I need some euros to count on it

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Darlin', I need something salty
    Eins, zwei, drei
    With a slice of pepperoni
    I'll pay, you can owe me
    That'll be a pony
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm comin' back to life

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Got me feeling okey-dokey
    Eins, zwei, drei
    Goodbye drudgery, hello me
    So light you can throw me
    Kill at karaoke
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm comin' back to life

    Eins
    Zwei
    Drei
    Eins, zwei
    Eins, zwei, drei

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Darlin', I need something salty
    Eins, zwei, drei
    With a slice of pepperoni
    I'll pay, you can owe me
    That'll be a pony
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm comin' back to life

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Darlin', I need something salty
    Eins, zwei, drei
    With a slice of pepperoni
    I'll pay, you can owe me
    That'll be a pony
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm comin' back to life

    Eins, zwei, drei
    Eins, zwei, drei
    I'm comin' back to life Writer/s: Julie Aagaard, Lasse Midtsian Nymann, Sam Bartle, Vasilisa Subotic
