Lyrics
Gestern fohr' i mit der Tramway Richtung Favoriten.
Drauen regn’t’s und drinnen stinkt’s, und i steh in der Mitt’n.
Die Leit, ob’s sitzen oder stengan, olle ham es fade Aug',
und sicher net nur in der Tramway,
i glaub, des hom’s 'n ganzen Tog, jo.
Im Wirtshaus triff i immer an, der wa Gott wos derzhlt.
Er is' so reich, er is' so gut, er kennt die ganze Wlt.
In Wirklichkeit is' er a Sandler, hocknstat und dauernd fett,
des letzte Weh in meine Augen, na, i pock eam net!
Zwickt’s mi, i man i tram!
Des derf net wohr sein, wo samma daham?
Zwickt’s mi, ganz wurscht wohin!
I kann’s net glaub’n, ob i ang’soff’n bin?
Ober i glaub, da hlft ka Zwicken,
knnt' ma net vielleicht irgendwer ane pick’n?
Danke, jetzt is' ma klor, es ist wohr, es ist wohr.
(Whistling Solo)
Die Jugend hat kein Ideal, kan Sinn fr wohre Werte.
Den jungen Leuten geht’s zu gut, sie kennen keine Hrte!
So reden de, de nur in Op krul’n,
Schmiergeld nehman, packeln tan,
noch an Skandal daun pensioniert wer’n, kurz: a echtes Vurbld san.
Zwickts mi, i man i tram…
(Chor:) Zwickts mi, i man i tram…
Jo! (Whistling)
(This is the original version of Zwickt’s mi. There have been another
two versions with changed lyrics reflecting the change of time. The last
one was called «Zwickt's mi 2000» and rather dancefloor-style. Still, I think the original is the best one.

Lyrics translation
Yesterday, fohr,' i, with the Tramway in the direction of favorites.
Drauen regn't’s and inside it stinks, and I stand in the middle.
The guide, whether 's sit or stengan, olle ham it fade Aug',
and sure net only in the Tramway,
I think it's a whole Tog, jo.
In the tavern i meet, always, the wa God wos derzhlt.
He is 'so rich, he is' so good, he knows the whole world.
In reality, he is a Sandler, hocknstat and permanent fat,
the last hurt in my eyes, well, I pock EAM net!
Zwickt's mi, i man I tram!
Of derf net wohr be, where samma daham?
Zwickt's mi, ganz wurscht wohin!
I can't believe if I'm ang ' soff'n?
Ober I glaub, da Hlft ka Zwicken,
ma net knnt' maybe someone ane pick’n?
Thank you, now is' ma klor, it is wohr, it is wohr.

(Chorus:) Zwickts mi, i man I tram…
Jo! (Whistling)
