Mit meiner Ba-la-la-la-laika
War ich der König auf Jamaica.
Und manche Schöne dort entbrannte
Weil sie mein Instrument noch gar nicht kannte.
Es waren wundervolle Nächte
Von denen ich nur sagen möchte:
Mit meiner Ba-la-la-la-laika
War ich der König auf Jamaica.
Schön war die Zeit
Schön war die Zeit.
Als müder Mann
So kam ich in Jamaica an.
Ich hoffte sehr
Daá ich mich dort erholen kann.
Doch schon nach kurzer Zeit war jede Ruh' dahin
Und schuld daran war nur das Balalaika-Ding.
Mit meiner Ba-la-la-la-laika . . .
Ich spielte viel und auch nicht ohne Temp'rament
Dazu der Rhythmus von der heiáen Jamaica Band
Dann war da eine
Die mich sehr in Anspruch nahm
Kein Wunder
Daá ich noch viel müder nach Hause kam.
Mit meiner Ba-la-la-la-laika . . .
