Handwerker English translation
von Mickie Krause & Julian Sommer

Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a handyman
Mama, a handyman who screws one in
Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a handyman
Mama, a handyman who screws one in

I screw one in, one in, one in
And sometimes even two, even two, even two
I screw one in, one in, one in
That's how it has to be, has to be, has to be
I screw one in

Foam and silicone replace precision
I've got two colleagues here who just stand around
Listening to Krause's songs on my Makita
And I take measurements, gladly even a liter

Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a handyman
Mama, a handyman who screws one in


I screw one in, one in, one in
And sometimes even two, even two, even two
I screw one in, one in, one in
That's how it has to be, has to be, has to be
I screw one in

Because I love mothers, I like to screw with the gearbox
The shift starts at eight, by nine I'm already tight
Listening to summer songs over and over again
I tighten it up again and then it blasts out of the Makita

Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a handyman
Mama, a handyman who screws one in
Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a handyman
Mama, a handyman who screws one in

I screw one in, one in, one in
And sometimes even two, even two, even two
And sometimes even three, even three, even three
And sometimes even four, even four, even four
That's exactly how I wish it to be
