Text: Udo Lindenberg; Musik: Udo Lindenberg
Neulich war ich mal wieder in Amerika
und da traf ich einen Herrn von der Mafia
er lud mich ein in ein Makkaronirestaurant
und ich dachte: O.k., gehst mal mit
vielleicht wird das ganz interessant
Er sagt: Ich heiße Johnny Controlletti, buon giorno, Signor
Ein kurzer Wink und 'ne schwarze Limousine fuhr vor
und später saßen wir da in der Chicago-Bar
und nach jedem Glas Chianti
rief er: Hallo Ober, noch 'ne Ladung
und zwar avanti, avanti
Und dann packt er sich das Glas, das volle
und sagt: Alles unter Kontrolle
Er hat 'n Streifenanzug an
und Gamaschen wie Al Capone
und die Beule in der Jacke, die kam von der Kanone
Dann wollte er noch wissen
wie's denn überhaupt so wäre
mit dem Showbusiness in Deutschland
und speziell auch mit meiner Karriere
ich sag': Ich mach' da grad so'n Ding
mit 'ner höllisch heißen Panik-Band
Und Johnny Controlletti
übernahm sofort das Management
Er sagt: Si, si, Signor
wir machen das perfekt und schnell
die Jungs vom Syndikat sind enorm professionell
Und so saßen wir da in der Chicago-Bar
und er sagt: Alles klar, mein Bester
ich mach' dich über Nacht zum Superstar
dich und dein Katastrophen-Orchester
Und dann reicht er mir das Glas, das volle
und sagt: Alles unter Kontrolle
