Ladies and gentlemen, the ICE to Frankfurt/Main
will be arriving at the opposite platform instead
This train was scheduled to leave at two oh two p.m
Though: it wasn't, 'cause it's already half past two
With us, sadly, most things often go different than you think
Today we hooked the cars on the wrong way round
The coach order is exactly the opposite of the plan
Thanks for traveling with Deutsche Bahn!
Ladies and gentlemen, it's your train manager speaking
Unfortunately I just can't manage to talk normally
Still you get the service you're used to from us
First German and then English, with a heavy accent
First I want, without hiding my disgust
to recommend the offer from our on-board bistro
Meatloaf and a soft drink cost seven euros ten
Have lots of fun standing in line beforehand
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for riding with us
We spontaneously thank you for your capacity to suffer
Thanks for traveling with Deutsche Bahn!
Ladies and gentlemen, the reason we're not moving right now
is a cow standing on the tracks
But please please, keep loving us
We were simply a state-run company for far too long
Should you use the restroom during the ride
we'd recommend cleaning it yourself first
Best use a bottle of Sagrotan
Thanks for traveling with Deutsche Bahn!
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for traveling with us
At crazy prices on crazy tracks
We spontaneously thank you for your capacity to suffer
Thanks for traveling with Deutsche Bahn
Ladies and gentlemen, since nobody really checks them
all our heaters are constantly broken
Otherwise air-conditioners are waiting for you
but they only work up to thirty-two degrees
We've got a theory, but the proof is still missing
In winter it gets cold and in summer it gets hot
Experience cold shock and fever delirium with us
Thanks for traveling with Deutsche Bahn!
