Around the curve of the pentagon
A broken down old movie star
Hustling an Easterner
Bringing out the beast in him
A high dive on a swimming pool
Made of needles and with pools
Now the memories are short but the tales are long
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Well they called her Rosie when she was a girl
For her bright red cheeks and her strawberry curls
When she would laugh, the river would run
She said she'd be a comedian
Oh what a pity, oh what a shame
When she said come calling, nobody came
Now her bright red cheeks are fading on
And she's laughing ahead of in the Reeperbahn
Now little Hans was always strange
Wearing women's underthings
Now his father beat him, but he wouldn't change
He ran off with a man one day
Now his lingerie is all the rage
He's in the black on every page
And his father proudly calls his name
Down there in the Reeperbahn

Now if you've lost all your inheritance
And all we have left is common sense
And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
Or the mattress where you sleep
Behind every window, behind every door
The apple's gone but there's always the core
And the leaves, the seeds will grow up right from the floor
Down there in the Reeperbahn
