Mio padre ha un buco in gola
e una medaglia d'argento
oggi è andato in pensione
alta burocrazia nazionale.
Mia madre è professoressa
o meglio una professoressa madre
m'ha dato sempre quattro
anche se mi voleva bene
oggi è andata in pensione
con la medaglia della scuola
la guarda sempre con orgoglio
ascoltando la radio.
Mia nonna è una brava signora
ma nonostante tutto è morta
cucinava con troppo amore
e mi faceva ingrassare
ed io, io crescevo bene
grasso come un maiale
studiavo come un matto
per fare onore all'onore
per fare onore all'onore
per fare onore all'onore.
Onora il padre e la madre
ma soprattutto i bambini
e questo è sottinteso
se si diventa assassini
oh no, io non sono stato
io ero in Germania
se qualcuno ha taciuto
certo è stato frainteso
no, no, io stavo cantando
in una strana stazione
quando lei è arrivato
stavo appunto pensando
ma che strana persona
scommetto che sa già tutto
può trovare i miei libri
perfino sotto il letto
tutti i libri d'amore
e poesie consigliate
se c'è sangue sul muro
qualcuno s'è vaccinato
no, no, no, no, signor dottore
io sono rimasto a letto
ma la camicia di forza
ha uno strappo sul collo (x 4)
