I want a good deal, better if it's free   But I charge a lot, want more money   Don't want to work, just want more pay   Cut corners here, make more that way      Meanwhile, I work in a large room   I work in a room that's large and bare   I'm at this work bench every day      I never miss a day, I keep my tools very organized   I have a special place for all my tools   This tinny radio is all I play, I love music      I'm working on this new invention   And I'm really, really excited about it   I think, it needs something extra here   In the evenings, I read tool catalogues      I'm studying the grain of my work bench   I can fix anything you like I'm humming a tune   While I wait for the answer to appear      When I get stuck, I go fishing   Put in the clutch so to speak and glide   I coast among the rabble and the right words   In my work, I take great pride      Meanwhile, I need more things, I need more money   Don't want to work, want things for free   Cut corners here, make more that way   I have no pride, the world is unfair      My shop is a long meadow in a winding landscape   In a series of elevations with a few cows and a babbling brook      I love to do what I love to do   This excludes anything I don't like to do   The pleasure is in the peace of mind   The pleasure is mine, mein bitte
