Alfred Brendel

We are the rooster and the hen

We are the rooster and the hen
We\'re also little chickens

And what about the egg
Who is the egg
WE ARE THE EGG
the yolk as well as the egg-white

Furthermore
we are the fox
that gobbles the hens

Gosh we\'re everything

We are the rooster and the hen

Wir sind der Hahn und die Henne
Wir sind auch die kleinen Hühnerlein

Und das Ei
Wer ist das Ei
WIR SIND DAS EI
das Dotter aber auch das Eiweiß

Außerdem sind wir der Fuchs
der die Hühner frißt

Wir sind aber auch wirklich alles
Close

We are the rooster and the hen

We are the rooster and the hen
We\'re also little chickens

And what about the egg
Who is the egg
WE ARE THE EGG
the yolk as well as the egg-white

Furthermore
we are the fox
that gobbles the hens

Gosh we\'re everything

We are the rooster and the hen

We are the rooster and the hen
We\'re also little chickens

And what about the egg
Who is the egg
WE ARE THE EGG
the yolk as well as the egg-white

Furthermore
we are the fox
that gobbles the hens

Gosh we\'re everything
