Every word that you said I believed But in everything you said I was deceived You played around, I really laughed, how could I pretend? But where did all the laughing get me in the end? You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! I, man, am regal, a German am I On this point we have always seen eye to eye Your cutting aside Is like a thorn in my side And once again as you see like a fool I cry You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! This time you've really got to be joking! No! Sexuality, it's a dirty game When you're alone, you're free from the shame You've got your revenge for when I played the knave You were the master, I was the slave You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo - king! You've gotta be jo- king!
