Well we’re fine Filk singers, we got golden fingers
but there’s hardly anyone who’ll know
that we sing about heroes, faeries, dragons and toads
for some laughter and some hearts that’ll glow.
You see, we’re still lacking fame, and we know who’s to blame
that there’s no groupies to scream and to shout:
For there is no getting richer if we won’t get our picture
On the cover of the »Let’s Filk About«.
Let’s Filk About - Wanna see my picture on the cover
Lets Filk About - wanna buy twelve copies for my mother
Let’s Filk About - I wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the »Let’s Filk About«
We’ve got a keyboard that does organ cello saxophone and fog
and a guitar that was made in Japan.
We’ve learned some dirty old Swedish baroque songs,
we’d sing ballads on Cúchulainn’s ban.
We know all minor chords and even some Welsh words
so we can really stand out in a crowd.
We’d wear silk and we’d wear laces if it helped to see our faces
on the cover of the »Let’s Filk About.«
Let’s Filk About - Wanna see my picture on the cover
Lets Filk About - wanna buy twelve copies for my mother
Let’s Filk About - I wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the »Let’s Filk About«
We sing in voices so clear and with roars you’ll fear,
we make our own songs and we know how to steal.
We’ve got a song that what written by Goethe,
we’ll sing in moods that sound just like you feel.
We’ve got some tales to tell, but there’s no fans who yell,
and when we sing, folks will rather move out.
We’ve tried make-up, we’ve tried squinting, but they still are not printing
Our cover of the »Let’s Filk About.«
Let’s Filk About - Wanna see my picture on the cover
Lets Filk About - wanna buy twelve copies for my mother
Let’s Filk About - I wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the »Let’s Filk About«
Eine Hymne auf das einzig wahre deutsche Filk-Magazin »Let’s Filk About«
Und nach dem Song hab ich es aufs Cover geschafft!
