* Eduard Der Haschischhund:
Eduard was a hashish dog
His mouth was a snout
And Eduard was on top of it
A huge olfactory organ
Had Eduard smelled something?
He got a bone for it
Even the smallest crumb of shit
So Eduard came along
Edward thought it was a game
And the bone was the target
That turned Eduard on
And so he quickly learned:
Especially with guys who smell something
You really have to sniff it
Soon he could see it in their eyes
Without any olfactory organ
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Edward (row-row!)
Eduard was a good dog
Never asked why
Because he was in all these years
Always had a good ride with it
Had Eduard smelled something?
He got a bone for it
Sometimes he got two
That was enough for Eduard
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Edward (row-row!)
But then, one summer night
Something woke up in Eduard
Didn’t smell anything today
Had no bone today
Eduard, the animal, thought to himself
Good God, what am I doing here?
I always do my duty
But you won’t be thanked
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Edward (row-row!)
I didn’t just want to parry anymore
Want to try something different
Had beyond the bone
Smelled something better
That’s why the next time you find something bigger
Edward the hashish dog
Don’t just stick your nose in
But secretly licked it
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Edward (row-row!)
What came next was so beautiful
Then Eduard saw it
That it’s of no use to anyone
If a customs officer steals it.
Put an end to the drug war
And left with the next freak
Who then named him Abraxas
And bought him a purple collar
He came to a farm
And lived there as a philosopher
Well-liked, almost a star
For his great gift was
That he, whether meadow, street, beach
Found a crumb everywhere
And so there was always something to snack on
In Hashischeduard’s cheek pockets
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Eduard (ssmh-ssmh, row-row!)
Edward (row-row!)
Edward (row-row!)
